7/6/2023 0 Comments The gift by cecelia ahern![]() ![]() He does start to feel more human towards the end - and then there's a depressing conclusion. I kept finding myself forgetting who was whom (other than Lou and Gabe) and slightly startled when there was a temporary return to the teenage boy at the police station. ![]() And it just gets odder and odder, Gabe eventually giving Lou some tablets that have a very peculiar effect which temporarily seems to make his busy life rather easier. Gabe is a homeless man whom Lou buys a coffee. ![]() It's never spelled out who Gabe is but the Christmas theme and the events that unfold make it fairly obvious. Lou is a workaholic who neglects his family. A teenage boy, angry at his parents, is taken to a police station and then told a long story about a guy called Lou whom the police dealt with that morning. Not as quirky as some of the author's other books, but bizarre a tale within a tale. I thought this would be a pleasant light read for the Christmas season, and expected to finish it quickly, reading a chapter or two each evening. ![]()
