About this listen

 The Good Mayor is a magical debut novel. It is a love story and a story about love.

Set in the little town of Dot in a forgotten part of the Baltic, it tells the story of Tibo Krovic, the good and honest Mayor of Dot, and his love for his secretary, the beautiful, lonely, but married, Mrs Agathe Stopak. In the quiet, respectable town of Dot there is nothing that Tibo can do about his love for Mrs Stopak but, one day, when she accidentally drops her lunch into a fountain, everything changes and their lives will never be the same again.

The Good Mayor is a story of love, loss, magic, friendship, wonderful food, a brass band, an Italian witch, a large lawyer, an occasional dog and a car chase at walking pace. Beautifully written, this is one of the finest debut novels in years.

I listened to Penelope Keith's brilliant performance of this book, enjoying the quirky characters and colourful scenes. A lovely tale of a beautiful woman and the man devoted to her that takes unexpected diversions. It made me smile and brought a tear to my eye. The rich voice of Penelope really added to the descriptive scenes and brought out the pathos and the humour. Then I read it for myself, savouring the magic again as I retraced the story. Wonderful.

Quirky, magical story brilliantly narrated
