Leonard and Hungry Paul are two quiet friends who see the world differently. Using humour, stints of silence and board games, they try to steer their way through the maelstrom that is the 21st century. We are delighted that author Rónán Hession will join the meeting on Tuesday 27th of April at the start to answer questions and read from the book, before leaving the readers to discuss the novel among themselves.

Described as “the book we all need at the moment”, this charming book celebrates those underappreciated people whose gentleness and appreciation of the small things of life have the power to change the world.
