***1/2

Wel, ik ben normaal gezien zo geen fan van vertellingen uit een kindermond. Vaak worden het kind woorden in de mond gelegd die veel te volwassen zijn of totaal niet bij de leefwereld aansluiten, of anders wordt het net zo goed zo kinderlijk verteld dat men er beter een kinderboek van had gemaakt. Dat is hier absoluut niet het geval. De auteur weet bewonderenswaardig goed de juiste tone of voice te vinden en slaagt er ook nog eens in om op een subtiele manier de leefwereld van het hoofdpersonage te vertolken. De dualiteit tussen liefde en afkeer, de naïeve hardnekkige hoop op beter, en het einde dat iets te proper is, maar toch verhaaltechnisch goed.

Een zeer geslaagde kerstvertelling.
