Isaac and the Egg by Bobby Palmer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book. It's quite unique. I'm glad I decided to read it. It kept me entertained on my journey to and from work for a few weeks. It's very imaginative and immersive. We follow Isaac Addy who is grieving the death of his wife. At his lowest point, at the start of the novel, he finds an Egg. I thought the characters were all very realistic and it was easy to feel sympathy for the main character and to understand the way he was behaving. "Isaac and the Egg" is cleverly written and keeps you guessing as to what or who the Egg might be or represent. It's a tale of loss, friendship, grief, mental health, hope, and love. Although a tragic tale, there is a good amount of humour throughout to help lift the mood.
