It's not often I have
time to sit down and read a book, and then if I do, it is normally a text book
full of facts and information I need to retain. However, every so often it is
nice to lose yourself in a good short story, and for one author, I am always
eager to read anything she writes. Since my lovely friend Jo Rawson moved to Goa to
be an author I have been an avid fan of her work.
Jo's latest book is
called "Angel of
Kindness" and is a short story which is perfect for this
time of year. Angel of Kindness is a very easy read and would appeal to those
who like reading chic-lit.
The story is set in
Derbyshire at Christmas. Megan has returned home to her bi-sexual hippy mother
who is not the most traditional of people. Finding herself back in her old
town, with old friends, Megan is throwing off the shackles of a dreary marriage
and a cheating husband, and reliving her misspent youth. Dragged to her old
haunt (the local nightclub) by her well-meaning friends, Megan runs into a
blast from the past, and wonders whether she made the right choices all those
years ago.....
This story reminds me
of going home for Christmas back to your old friends and family where time
stands still whilst your life evolves. Set at one of the most picturesque times
of year, Jo manages to conjure up a vivid picture of quintessential British
life and the British traditions that surround Christmas. With a good dose of
old Derbyshire charm thrown in this delightful short story warms the hear
strings and just proves how the power of Christmas can bring people together.
Angel of Kindness is
available to buy here
for just 99 cents via pdf and $1.23 for Kindle.
I would definitely recommend having a read as the is fantastic.
