Présentation de l'éditeur
The Good Mayor is a magical debut novel. It is a love story and a story about love.
Set in the little town of Dot in a forgotten part of the Baltic, it tells the story of Tibo Krovic, the good and honest Mayor of Dot, and his love for his secretary, the beautiful, lonely, but married, Mrs Agathe Stopak.
In the quiet, respectable town of Dot there is nothing that Tibo can do about his love for Mrs Stopak but, one day, when she accidentally drops her lunch into a fountain, everything changes and their lives will never be the same again.
The Good Mayor is a story of love, loss, magic, friendship, wonderful food, a brass band, an Italian witch, a large lawyer, an occasional dog and a car chase at walking pace. Beautifully written, this is one of the finest debut novels in years. Read The Good Mayor and fall in love again.

One of the best books I have ever read - it had a humour and lightness of touch that hooked me from the first page to the last. --Kate Devlin, Daily Telegraph
An extraordinary achievement. I think it a seriously original and profoundly creative piece of literature. --Robert McNeil, The Scotsman
