The Lost Soul by Olga Tokarczuk

 ​Lovely. Absolutely lovely.  A charming fable to remind the fast-paced world of what’s really important. Not a lot of words and lots of art – this might have been insubstantial had it not been so lovely. Yes, I’m overusing the word but it’s just so perfectly apt. The entire thing will only take you 10 minutes at most, but it’ll make for a very pleasant 10 minutes. Just think of something you like to do to slow down time and relax, be it blanket and hot cocoa on a winter night or a nap on the beach on a summer day - well, that’s the tone and mood and theme of this book, to remind you to move at the speed of your soul not the hectic world around you. Recommended.
