Bear Necessity

Bear Necessity / James Gould-Bourn, read by Rupert Holliday-Evans, 312 pages

Danny's life is falling apart.  A year after his wife died in a car accident, his son Will has still not spoken.  Now Danny loses his job and has to figure out a way to pay his back rent or possibly have his legs broken by his landlord's strong man. Desperate for money, Danny decides to become a street performer after struggling to find a job.  He buys a very cheap panda suit and starts dancing for a living.  After not making much in the early weeks, he realizes his has to invest in his act.  This turned out to be a delightful listen, perfectly narrated by Rupert Holliday-Evans.  Danny, Will and the unlikely cast of people who help them is exactly what I needed in the middle of the pandemic.  Hearty thumbs up.
