Tibo Krovic is the mayor of a small town called Dot, and has been for twenty years. Everyone likes Tibo, he always says and does the right thing. But Tibo has a secret that no one else knows. Every morning when he gets to work, he closes the door to his office, gets on his knees, and peeks under the door through the crack at her. He is hopelessly in love with her, but she doesn't have a clue.

Agathe Stopak is a married woman who works for Tibo. Her marriage is an unhappy one. One, he is a drunk and two, they recently lost a child. She is still young and craves happiness and love, so she visits a psychic and soon is taking a closer look at her boss. But Agathe will need to get rid of her loser husband before beginning a new relationship with Tibo.

Eventually, Tibo garners up the willpower to ask Agathe out to lunch, but what you expect to lead to a fairy tale will leave you empty handed. The lives and characters of the small town of Dot are quirky, eccentric, and lead you to a wonderful and charming love story but with an added element of moral and magic. A stunning debut that I highly recommend!
