"Israel is an intelligent, shy, passionate, sensitive sort of soul : he's Jewish ; he's vegetarian ; he could maybe do with losing a little weight. And he's just arrived in Ireland to take up his first post as a librarian. But the library's been shut down and Israel ends up stranded on the North Antrim coast driving an old mobile library van. There's a lot of nice scenery, but 15,000 fewer books? How? When would they have time to read them all? And is there anywhere in this godforsaken place where he can get a proper cappuccino and a decent newspaper? Israel wants some answers ... Smart, funny and heart-warming, with a cast of brilliant characters, 'The mobile library' is the first improbable adventure of a reluctant hero." -- back cover.
