Bookseller recommendation

“Oh my. Over the past three weeks, this book has gone from completely unknown to me to everywhere I look. Thank you to Libro.fm for allowing me to listen to it. It truly is a beautiful work of fiction that has reached deeply into my heart. I feel so fortunate to have Theo (as perfectly voiced by David Morse) walking with me in this season of my life. And don't miss the Epilogue, read by the author. There are undertones of Christian theology woven in the story, but I didn't find that limiting as a non-Christian listener. ”

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “[A] word-of-mouth smash hit.” —The New York Times One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from…or why…His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers. Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their “rightful owners.” With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered. A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted novel about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the invisible threads of kindness that bind us to one another.Narrated by multiple Emmy and Tony award nominee David Morse, with a brand new afterword about the writing of THEO OF GOLDEN, narrated by the author himself.
