Blurb from the back:

'Max Tivoli is writing the story of his life. He is nearly seventy years old, but looks as if he is only seven - for Max is ageing backwards. the tragedy of Max's life was to fall in love at seventeen with Alice, a girl his own age, but to her, Max looks like an unappealingly middle aged man. But when Max reaches the age of thirty-five, with an appearance to match, he has his second chance at love. But happiness eludes this star crossed couple, and desperate measures are required.'

From the moment I picked up this book, I found it very difficult to put down. It's such an unusual book and a very interesting read. It's also quite sad while being humourous. I really enjoyed it, but I'm not sure if it's everyones cup of tea.

RELEASE NOTES:

I'll probably leave this on a bench in the churchyard somewhere. It won't be off the beaten track and it's a small churchyard.
