Liking this new read. Another book set in France 🇫🇷

The main character, an older man, has been in an accident and now recovering in hospital. He meets a series of people and reconnect with others he's lost touch with. He's a touchy grumpy as well.

I suspect there could be comparisons to Ove (which I didn't really enjoy as a read). I like this a lot more and it's really quite funny in parts.

Available on #edelweiss if anyone else uses it.
