The Indifferent Stars: A short novel about love, loss and friendship - Paperback

by Peter Traynor (Author)

If you like funny, warm adventure stories then this book is for you. This short debut novel explores matters of grief, loss and the ageing process with real humour and warmth. The author draws on some of his own experiences and crafts a light adventure story in the classic tradition of Call of the Wild, featuring older and (sometimes) wise characters who still have something to learn. Andrew Edwards a presenter at BBC Radio Leeds had this to say about the book: "A miniature masterpiece of hope and new life. There's a wonderful generosity about this journey, where warmth and joy emerge in and from the coldest of places." The following is an abridged OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Indifferent Stars" by Peter Traynor."4 out of 4 stars... The evocative spirit of the book makes you wonder about life, death, love, friendship. You empathize with the character, which is what I most enjoyed about the book. I found myself on that boat with him, seeing the northern lights, having nothing to lose. I felt a connection with the character because I am also looking for something like he is. Some incredible landscapes are captured between the pages of this book. I recommend it to people who enjoy books that portray a connection between nature and humans and to lovers of travel. The descriptive writing will lure you in immediately".
