Four Minutes to Save a Life: A feel-good story that will make you laugh and cry

This is a book of revelations; so much going on, so much to find out and all adding up to a really great read! Charlie Sparrow begins his new job as a delivery driver for the local supermarket; he is told quite firmly that he must stick to four minutes per customer. And so he sets out on his assigned route of Hope Street, but the four minute rule quickly goes out the window as he gets to know his customers and they get to know him. As we find out about each person, we realise they all have secrets . . . This is a wonderfully warm read with a fine cast of characters; each on their own for varying reasons and we get to know each person and their past as the story progresses. I suspected there was something hidden in the past of each one, but I would never have guessed what. This is a creatively plotted novel, well written and full of surprises! For me, the characters came alive on the page and the ending was just perfect. This has definitely alerted me to this author's writing and I'll be on the lookout for future novels. I'm very happy to give this one four stars.
