Sheep may have different activities to keep themselves busy with, but what about meeting them roaming free through a hotel? Given the challenges the hospitality industry is lately going through, this may be a genius idea to save not only the brand, but also people working there from being made redundant. Or?
The Approval of Sheep, the debut novel by Karen Storey has an unexpected topic and even more unexpected characters. Gordon, a sad and lonely at heart employee of a top hotel, is hoping to get a promotion soon, the reward for his hard work. However, as his company is struggling to meet its main economic goals, his possible promotion is at high risk. What about allowing some well behaved sheep to entertain the guests?
Decided to play his chance, he will go as far as Wales trying to find a way to bring the sheep and the owner of the hotel on his side.
Indeed, the topic may sound hilarious and there are many moments of good laugh in this book, but the most beautiful part of it is when you discover the beauty of friendship and human connection, as well as the power of tradition.
I´ve learned a lot about Wales and old traditions, but also about being part of a team, in the most genuine and warm hearted way.
Rating: 4 stars
