Little Hands Clapping
Dan Rhodes
Once upon a time, in a room above a German museum, there lived an old man …A caretaker by day, by night he enjoys the sound of silence, broken only by the occasional crunch of a spider between his teeth. However, the old man’s solitude is disturbed as unusual activities at the museum start to attract attention. A pair of young and outrageously beautiful lovers, a baker’s son with a passion for the euphonium, and a dog called Hans are just some of the innocents pulled into Rhodes’s mesmerising world.
Reviews of Little Hands Clapping
'Totally sick and brilliant in all the right ways. He sucks you into his world and before you know it, you're willingly trapped. So very smart. I loved it' DOUGLAS COUPLAND
