Calling Major Tom

Product Description

'Sheer joy!' Lucy Diamond.

CALLING MAJOR TOM is a heartwarming, quirky and ultimately life-affirming story of friendship, family and forgiveness - and the world's most unlikely astronaut. The perfect book club read for fans of A MAN CALLED OVE, A BOY MADE OF BLOCKS and Jojo Moyes.

A man who has given up on the world.

Forty-something Thomas is very happy to be on his own, far away from other people and their problems.

A family who show him how to live.

But beneath his grumpy exterior lies a story and a sadness that is familiar to us all. And he's about to encounter a family who will change his view of the world... for good.
