The Book of Tomorrow
by Cecelia Ahern
Yet another beautiful piece of writing by one of my favourite authors, Cecelia Ahern. If you're a loyal fan of her works as I am, 'The Book of Tomorrow' will serve as another opportunity for a suspension of reality. The magic of the novel lies in "a diary that writes itself" about events which will take place a day ahead of reality - a diary of tomorrow. Isn't the concept just brilliant?!
Think about it: If you know what is happening tomorrow - every single event that will take place in your tomorrow - will you change it all? Will you rewrite your own future and change your destiny? I'd tell you that even after reading the story, I cannot give a definite answer. Perhaps the future should never be placed in our hands, literally, at all. I don't know... I really don't.
That's the beauty of the plot, in my opinion. Cecelia has carved a believable main character, Tamara Goodwin, spinning us into her web of reality completely. It forces readers to enter Tamara's world, fully immersed to discover who Tamara truly is. Through stages of grieving over the loss of her father, her family and her identity, Tamara experiences a magnificent rebirth. Once again, another work by Cecelia Ahern that reminds me of the invincible human spirit. It's incredible really, how our minds shape the way we cope with the harshest truths of reality.
