There's only one person who has ever truly understood fourteen-year-old June Elbus, and that's her uncle, the renowned painter, Finn Weiss; he is her godfather, confident, and best friend. So when he dies far too young of a mysterious illness, June's world is turned upside down.But Finn's death brings a surprise acquaintance into June's life. At the funeral, she notices a strange man lingering just beyond the crowd, and a few days later, June receives a package in the mail. Inside is a beautiful teapot she recognizes from Finn's apartment, and a note from Toby, the stranger, asking for an opportunity to meet.A the two begin to spend time together, June realizes she's not the only one who misses Finn, and if she can bring herself to trust this unexpected friend, he might just be the one she needs the most.

Betyg & recensioner

8 recensioner, genomsnitt 4.6/5

  1. 5/5 Anja

    Underbar skildring av tonårens jobbiga år, syskon, saknad och vänskap. Författaren tar snabbt tag i en och håller ett fast grepp till sista sidan.

  2. 5/5 Gustaf

    Fint skildrat från en 14-årings perspektiv. Tunga ämnen behandlas på ett sådant sätt att man känner mer läsglädje än mörk sinnesstämning.
