Comes A Child by Joseph Gallant
I was pleasantly surprised to discover just what was contained in Comes A Child. Whenever I watch a film, I just have to read the synopsis without fail. When it comes to books, however, I don't have that sense of urgency. So, I didn't know what to expect with this book.
Comes A Child is a lovely tale, about an elderly couple suffering from arthritis and other age-related ailments. I read a little bit of humour in their interactions with each other, although I expect they weren't in that much of a festive mood.
Still it was delightful to read! Then, what follows is a change of mood in the story; the animals arrive. There's a slight confusion here as I did wonder what they could possibly mean but it finally became all clear at the end.
Remember Scrooge? That grouchy old man from A Christmas Carol? Well he's back! At the end of Charles Dickens's much loved book, he didn't stay grumpy, of course. So, this is where his story continues as a new(ish) man and it's a bonus to be able to read a story that fits in with the tale before it. Comes A Child is all about love, miracles and companionship.
A lovely little book.
