I am at a loss for words with this novel. This
short review does not mean that there is nothing to say it’s just that I can’t
really explain it without down-grading it.
This novel was heart-warming from the start. My
heart was being tugged towards the characters, reaching out to try and comfort
them.
Theo and Mary are disfigured. They are subject
to ridicule on a daily basis in their own home town. This horrific reality of
the lack of respect towards people, especially those suffering, is easy to pass
with a blind eye in today’s society, but not in this novel.
Morals are entangled within this story, along
with serious issues but also with the tale of a young child who flourished from
a neglected couple like the poppies on the war field.
Surrounded by negativity and ridicule, due to
his parents, Ray is born with remarkable qualities that only a pure soul could
possess and that we can all but wish for.
This novel was heart-warming and is certainly
worth the short read.
