Days of Wonder by Keith Stuart
5.0
What a deeply moving, beautiful book. I didn’t think Keith’s novel A boy made of blocks could be topped, but he’s done it.
Days of Wonder is a novel about love, life and magic and one in which Keith has again, provided us with a story based on his love of the theatre, he thought this would be an interesting and supportive place for his protagonist Hannah.
Tom, single father to Hannah, comes across as an overprotective father, he manages the local theatre where Hannah grows up.
During Hannah’s early childhood, she is diagnosed with a heart condition which will end her life early – Dilated Cardiomyopathy which affects the walls of heart, her heart beat is irregular and the blood isn’t pumped very efficiently.
On the same day every year (usually Hannah’s birthday) Tom and the cast of Willow Tree theatre put on a production for Hannah.
In this moving book, Hannah and Tom have more than one fight on their hands, not just Hannah and her illness but the theatre is also threatened with closure. This book is told from both Tom and Hannah’s perspectives. I got a lot from this book and I’m sure you all will too.
Will the theatre close? What will happen to Hannah? You can find out by purchasing the book from all good bookshops or via the link below:
