Thanks to NetGalley, Doubleday and the author for the opportunity to read this book!
What a cute, quirky book - a fun read! Very similar in plot to another recent read, The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper.
In this book, Amy and Ben are a married couple having some issues when a robot shows up in their garden. Not just any robot and certainly not the trendy house androids that Amy would like to do things around the house that Ben can't quite manage to get done. No, Tran, is an old school robot that seems to be broken and no one knows how to fix him.
So Ben starts following leads and he and Tran go on excursions trying to find his builder and get him some help. Along the way, he meets many people who guide him on to the next person. Their experiences are funny, cute, poignant.
In the end, this is a story about love, friendship, grief and growing up. Charming, to say the least. I hope someday a Tran shows up in my garden!
