Reunion from the esteemed publisher of Stoner and Revolutionary Road is an extraordinary novel that transcends time and place, weaving a universal tale of friendship and the human experience.

This captivating narrative unfolds on a dreary afternoon in 1932 in Stuttgart, where the arrival of a new student, Konradin, disrupts the usual classroom dynamics. Hans, a middle-class boy, is irresistibly drawn to the aristocratic newcomer, and soon, a profound bond forms between the two. Their friendship blossoms through:

  • Shared interests and intellectual conversations
  • Adventurous hikes in the picturesque German hills
  • A journey of growth and discovery as they navigate adolescence

However, this bond is set against the backdrop of a changing Germany, making their relationship all the more poignant. Reunion serves as a compelling exploration of the fragility and strength of friendships that endure through trials and tribulations. With accolades from literary giants such as Ian McEwan, who describes it as a "brilliant work of art," and John Boyne, who found it "very moving," this novel deserves a place on every bookshelf.

Critics from the Guardian have hailed it as "exquisite," further solidifying its value in contemporary literature. Accompanied by an insightful afterword from Rachel Seiffert, Reunion is not just a story; it's an invitation to reflect on the connections that shape our lives.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
