About this listen

It begins with a miracle: a baby born too small and too early, but defiantly alive. This is Joe.

Then, two years later, Emily, arrives. From the beginning, the siblings' lives are entwined.

Snake back through time. In a patch of nettle-infested wilderness, find Edward, 17 years old and falling in love with another boy.

In comes somebody else, Eleanor, with whom Edward starts a family. They find themselves grandparents to Joe and Emily.

When Joe is diagnosed with cancer, the family are left waiting for a miracle.

From one of our finest new authors, this is a profoundly beautiful novel about the unexpectedness of life and the miracle of love.

I thoroughly recommend

Beautiful, profound novel, wonderfully read

What a beautifully written book, every sentence is so carefully laid out.
The story of a tragic diagnosis and failed miracle could have been saccharine and maudlin, yet whist sad Joe's dying and death were handled with such care and love.
The interveaving of the extended families story gave a breadth and added so many dimensions and layers.
Definitely a book that will resonate.

The narration was just perfect too.

Just beautiful
