The Gift

The thing about Ahern's writings that I like the most is that she managed to write emotional stories without being sappy. The Gift itself is not an exception.

I did not have any expectation when I started reading this novel. I just read. And found myself immersed in the story. I found myself being enchanted with the words and the characters. Oh yes, Ahern is one crafty writer, slowly pulling you in into her story.

What I love most about The Gift is the totally unexpected ending. Albeit tragic, there is no other way to end the story perfectly. Ahern is teaching her readers a very important lesson here so pay attention.
