The book appeared in my Christmas stocking last year, although I have only just read it for the first time, and was definitely seasonally appropriate! For those of you who have read Cecelia Ahern's other books 'The Gift' had the same sense of magic found set in the real world.
A police officer on duty on Christmas morning tells the main part of the story to a teen-aged boy who is going through a tough time and has been brought in for doing something stupid. This central story revolves around two men, Lou, an ego-centric man primarily focused on himself and his position in the corporate world, and Gabe, a homeless man who changes Lou's world. The question of course is, is it too late?
Almost a modern-day version of a traditional, not a Disney style, fairy-tale. Definitely a story with a moral told by Ms Ahern with her own style of fantasy. Surrealism? I haven't quite got the word for it!
