The Phone Box at the Edge of the World: The most moving, unforgettable book you will read, inspired by true events

As a Humanist I don’t believe in a Supernatural Power but I do remain connected to those I have lost, and yes I do still speak to them from time to time, usually in my head rather than out loud though. The Important Note and Acknowledgements are vital reading at the end as they offer more information about the real phone box and story this novel is based on and the author’s intentions for writing it. I loved how they brought out a better side to each other and taught each other it was okay to be happy again without it dishonouring those they had lost.

Thanks to Compulsive Readers for having me on the tour. As you can see from the picture above I might have found one or two quotes that resonated. Go read for yourself,not giving in much of the spoilers. Of their journey through grief, to the phone box and to find happiness once again.

com/. At its core I think it is about the human connection that the Phone box brings them.

The two main characters Yui and Takeshi are our focus but I love how other characters they meet also get centred at times. I already had this stunning hardback copy from Goldsboro as it was a book of the month pick (and I definitely see why).

Personally for me having a place to go to speak to the dearly departed isn’t necessary but I’m not sure that the Phone box fulfills that for these characters either. ”There’s also a acknowledgment about how individual our responses to death are. This is the story of Yui and Takeshi.
