The charming international bestseller about an elderly bookseller who delivers his recommendations door-to-door and an unlikely friendship with a nine-year-old girl that changes his life, for fans of The Midnight Library and A Man Called Ove.

The bookseller Carl Christian Kollhoff delivers books to special customers in the evening hours after closing time, walking through the picturesque alleys of the city. These people are almost like friends to him, and he is their most important connection to the world.

When Kollhoff unexpectedly loses his job, it takes the power of books and a nine-year-old girl to make them all find the courage to rebuild their bonds with each other.

A bestselling phenomenon internationally, Carsten Henn’s The Door-to-Door Bookstore is a feel-good novel about books and friendship.

Featuring a 70+ year-old book lover/seller, his unexpected 9-year-old traveling companion, and a cast of misfits named after literary characters, this story is heartwarming, sad, and hopeful all at once.

While the literary style isn’t always my favorite, it works well for this story. There’s nothing especially flashy or exciting about the book, but the way the author introduces each character and situation weaves together an easy-to-read, enjoyable tale.

If you enjoyed A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman, I think you’ll enjoy this book.
