BBAW Thursday Giveway - Benny and Shrimp by Katarina Mazetti


Benny and Shrimp

by

Katarina Mazetti



Front Flap: "It started in a cemetery, where they begrudgingly share a bench. "Shrimp," the childless young widow and librarian with a sharp intellect and a home so tidy that her jam jars are in alphabetical order, meets Benny, the gentle, overworked milk farmer who fears becoming the village's Old Bachelor. Both driven by an enormous longing and loudly ticking biological clocks, they can't escape the powerful attraction between them.

But how will she learn to accept that he falls asleep at the opera and has a house full of his mother's cross stitch? And how could he ever feel at home in her minimalist apartment, bare as the dentist's waiting room?"

    This sounds like the kind of book one would read on a cloudy, rainy day sitting on the sofa, legs tucked under, with a bowl of pretzels by your side.
    I'd like to enter your giveaway. Thank you for sharing.
