It’s a slow news day when journalist Ian Rogers is handed a story. Claims are made that locally beloved poppy seller, Thomas Mirren, is a fraud. Ian is reluctant to disrupt the ninety-year-old man’s quiet life, but a bit of research proves there’s no record of the old soldier serving. Is it possible he’s just an old man pretending to be a hero?\nAs the story is revealed, the town is divided. Some honour Thomas as a hero. Others ridicule him as a fraud. Few stop to learn the story of a man who spent his life running from the past, and simply wants to live out his days in peace.\nIn a world where perception is reality, does the truth truly matter? Or will public opinion destroy the life of a kind old man?\nThe Camel and the Butterfly is a heart-warming story of love, friendship, and one man’s undeniable strength of character.\n“An absolute gem” – Bobs and Books blog, Top books for 2021\n“A gorgeous story” – melissa_reads_books review
