A father-daughter bond capable of moving mountains, in a book that will make you laugh and cry. A coming-of-age story about finding wonder in everyday life, The Magic of Love , by Keith Stuart, is the most moving novel you'll read this year.
Tom manages a small theater in rural England and is a single parent raising his daughter, Hannah, whose mother decided to venture out into the world in pursuit of her dreams. Every year, on the same day, Tom and his wonderful cast of actors and actresses perform an exclusive show for Hannah. These are magical moments that inject the little girl with an extra dose of joy and happiness.
And when did this tradition begin? On Hannah's fifth birthday. The reason? She had been diagnosed with a heart condition whose prognosis is a short life expectancy.
Now, about to turn 16, despite her race against time, Hannah is a funny and resilient teenager. However, with her health growing more fragile and debilitating by the day, Hannah fears for her father's loneliness. She decides to find him a girlfriend and makes this her main goal, until three events turn her world upside down: after more than ten years away, her mother finally returns to her life; the theater she loves so much and cherishes is on its last legs—and to save it from demolition, Hannah must act quickly. Finally, and most distressingly, her only chance of survival is a heart transplant.
Hannah and Tom will have more than one battle to face in an attempt to continue their stories.
But who knows, maybe one last day of magic can save them both?
