Here Comes the Miracle: Shortlisted for the 2021 Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award
Author: Anna Beecher
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 240
It begins with a miracle: a baby born too small and too early, but defiantly alive. This is Joe. Decades before, another miracle. In a patch of nettle-infested wilderness, a seventeen year old boy falls in love with his best friend, Jack. This is Edward. Joe gains a sister, Emily. From the outset, her life is framed by his. She watches him grow into a young man who plays the violin magnificently and longs for a boyfriend. A young man who is ready to begin. Edward, after being separated from Jack, builds a life with Eleanor. They start a family and he finds himself a grandfather to Joe and Emily. When Joe is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Emily and the rest of the family are left waiting for a miracle. A miracle that won't come. HERE COMES THE MIRACLE is a profoundly beautiful story about love and loss; and about the beautiful and violent randomness of life.
