A well written easy to read family saga, with warm characters and poignant moments ( ) I've enjoyed quite a few of Mike Gayle's books in the past and I think his writing style has got better and better as time goes on. The Hope Family Calendar seems a slight departure in that there is not as much humour in it and much more emotion. It centres around Tom and Linda. Tom has just lost the love of his life and mother of his two young daughters, Laura, in a car crash. Linda is Laura's mum and both are finding it hard to come to terms with their loss, although Tom really is floundering and Linda is holding it all together for the sake of the girls. To make Tom take responsibility Linda decides to go to Australia for six months to see an old friend, but she gets more out of her trip than she could ever have imagined. This is a really easy to read, heartwarming and lovely read. Mike Gayle has a way of drawing you into a story so that you feel all the emotions but without it getting too heavy. The Hope Family Calendar has reminded me all over again how much I enjoy his style and his stories from the male perspective. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Tom Hope is broken. Ever since his wife Laura died he hasn't been the same man, and definitely not the same father. Luckily however, his mother-in-law Linda is there to pick up the pieces and look after his two struggling daughters, Evie and Lola. But Tom getting arrested on the first anniversary of his wife's death is the last straw for Linda. She decides on drastic action, and in a final attempt to make Tom reconnect with his daughters, Linda leaves for Australia. Now, with two fast-maturing girls on his hands, Tom has to learn how to accept his responsibilities and navigate the newly discovered world of single fatherhood - starting immediately. While Linda finds her journey brings more than she bargained for, Tom suddenly has only himself to rely on. Will he fall back into grief or finally step up and be the father his girls need? Bittersweet, funny and sad, THE HOPE FAMILY CALENDAR is a novel about grief, love and family. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
