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.
