From the get go of the sneak-peak I could tell that this book was going to be extremely moving, demonstrating how beautiful the mundane things in life can be. The writing style was utterly beautiful and captivating, and I could see myself fully falling in love with this book, breathing when the characters breathed and cried when they cried. Books like this are few and far between, where you really attach yourself to the characters and feel everything as if it were personally affecting our lives, 'Smoking Salmon' the first chapter just seems so ordinary, but in the first paragraph it's easy to see outside the lines and the picture that it's so much more than that, that Wolfe's life has slightly revolved around his shed at the end of the garden, this is followed by major life events accompanying the statement that he smokes his salmon in this shed, this book clearly aims to show us that there's beauty in the small things and most of all within ourself.
