What a better way to meet someone than in the pages of a book? Or over the pages of a book.

Book: Leonard and Hungry Paul’ by Rónán Hession

A disarming novel that asks a simple question: Can gentle people change the world?

In this charming and truly unique debut, popular Irish musician Ronan Hession tells the story of two single, thirty-something men who still live with their parents and who are . . . nice. They take care of their parents and play board games together. They like to read. They take satisfaction from their work. They are resolutely kind. And they realise that none of this is considered . . . normal.

Leonard and Hungry Paul is the story of two friends struggling to protect their understanding of what’s meaningful in life. It is about the uncelebrated people of this world: the gentle, the meek, the humble. And as they struggle to persevere, the book asks a surprisingly enthralling question: Is it really them against the world, or are they on to something?
Now streaming on BBC and starring Alex Lawther (The End of the F***ing World), Laurie Kynaston and Jamie-Lee O’Donnell (Derry Girls) with the voice-over by none other than Julia Roberts!
