Then one day, when she accidentally drops her lunch into a fountain, everything changes — and their lives will never be the same. ReadThe Good Mayor and fall in love again.

Review:
"A Baltic Brief Encounter" (Independent)
"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" (Scotsman)
"The finest, most tender novel of the 21st century... The delicious writing takes it into a rare league. Never has anyone written a novel which makes you care so achingly much for the awkward lovers... The Good Mayor simply makes you want to go out and fall in love with someone" (The Sun)
"A triumph of tone, very moving, completely convincing" (Andrew Marr)
