Release: 20th Ocober 2008. Only a couple more weeks to go, yay.
The summary.
The Gift:
If you could wish for one gift this Christmas, what would it be?
Everyday Lou Suffern battled with the clock. He always had two places to be at the same time. He always had two things to do at once. When asleep he dreamed. In between dreams, he ran through the events of the day while making plans for the next. When at home with his wife and family, his mind was always someplace else.
On his way into work one early winter morning, Lou meets Gabe, a homeless man sitting outside the office building. Intrigued by him and on discovering that he could also be very useful to have around, Lou gets Gabe a job in the post room.
But soon Lou begins to regret helping Gabe. His very presence unsettles Lou and how does Gabe appear to be in two places at the same time?
As Christmas draws closer, Lou starts to understand the value of time. He sees what is truly important in life yet at the same time he learns the harshest lesson of all.
This is a story about people who not unlike parcels, hide secrets. They cover themselves in layers until the right person unwraps them and discovers what's inside. Sometimes you have to be unravelled in order to find out who you really are. For Lou Suffern, that took time.

What? Then hurry up.
Or no, wait till they'll release this new paper back version in which Cecelia will answer some fan questions.

Wow, you're so lucky!
I absolutely loved The Gift. Did anyone else notice Cecelia's writing style matured?

Of course it matured. That's what you do when you get older hehe. I also loved it (and also got the little diary, such a sweet idea) but I don't like it as much as I love her other books, though I really cried at the end. And she once again always wrote such nice wise sentences. Like the very last one. Amazing. She's the best!

I got "The Gift" as a Christmas present from my parents. I haven't had the time to start reading it yet, but will do that this weekend. Looking forward to it. But I have to say I love the cover of the book, it's so cool! |
