The Extraordinary Ordinary Baker Street

The Extraordinary Ordinary Baker Street

For a book termite like myself, there is nothing as juicy as a good story; one that you can sink your teeth into as you devour each page, chew on the words and imagery created, and just digest the story line one character at a time. Jean Goulbourne delivers all of that in her publication, ‘The Extraordinarily Ordinary Baker Street’

The novel had me captivated from the get go as this tale of triumph over trial and adversity is a feel good balm that we all need at times to remind us that despite the many ills in our society, hard work can still be one’s ticket out of stagnation and poverty. Through her novel, Goulbourne inspires hope and releases that much needed dopamine of good will we all need to keep pushing, even when we do not feel like it.
