An irresistible debut novel of unlikely friendships and second chances, for readers who loved THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY and THE ROSIE PROJECT.

'Sheer joy!' Lucy Diamond.

CALLING MAJOR TOM is a heartwarming, quirky and ultimately life-affirming story of friendship, family and forgiveness - and the world's most unlikely astronaut. The perfect book club read for fans of A MAN CALLED OVE, A BOY MADE OF BLOCKS and Jojo Moyes.

A man who has given up on the world. Forty-something Thomas is very happy to be on his own, far away from other people and their problems.

A family who show him how to live. But beneath his grumpy exterior lies a story and a sadness that is familiar to us all. And he's about to encounter a family who will change his view of the world... for good.

'An unashamedly feel-good story.' Miranda Dickinson
'Sheer joy.' Lucy Diamond
'A much-needed antidote for these worrying times.' Julie Cohen
'A moving, funny, absorbing hot chocolate of a story.' Daniela Sacerdoti
'Exactly what everyone needs right now.' Rachael Lucas
