## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Delightful philosophical musings in an intriguing format
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 January 2021*

Like a Bach fugue or a Ravilious painting, the ideas and images chase each other around in the corners of his/your mind. Well worth reading and re-reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A small book about small things.
  

*by F***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 April 2003*

This small book seems at first to be not about very much.  Baker’s books tackle small subjects ( a shoelace, bottle feeding a baby, not writing a biography) in very profound ways.A Box of Matches is concerned with the minutae of one person’s life through a small window of time across a few days.  The beauty here is that Baker has discarded much of the brash intellectualism of his previous books and just tells it as it is.  This book has a much more human feel to it, and there is almost an air of sadness throughout the book.  The tragedy of the everyday is felt in the cadences of the prose, and captures the atmosphere (the dark kitchen, the fire growing each morning) perfectly.  That’s not to say there is no humour in this book – I found myself laughing out loud at some of the anecdotes within, particularly concerning his cat.  The narrator’s duck, beautifully described, is a superb character.The book begins and ends quietly, and not much happens on the surface, but it will stay with you for a very long time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This is something I would definitely recommend outside of my literature degree
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2018*

A novel without a plot! That actually works. This is something I would definitely recommend outside of my literature degree.
