'Leonard and Hungry Paul' is the story of two friends. Few people pay attention to them, because they are so ordinary. But the author sees unique qualities in her characters, and we clearly have something to learn from them. Lonely, awkward, and a little strange, they are not interested in the internet, don't go to parties, enjoy birdwatching, play board games, and discuss the discovery of planets.

This is a novel about ordinary people living simple lives, devoid of drama: no crises, conflicts, internal contradictions, or nervous breakdowns. Funny and wise, touching and a little sad, this book is about kindness and happiness, and we always need people like that.
