An Agreement We Made

Part of me really wanted to denigrate James for being a blind fool, but then the rest of me was quite impressed with the care and attention he showed his kids. I’d like to think I’ve done the latter myself as a parent and it’s practically inevitable I’ve been the former quite often too, so perhaps this is merely a literary inflammation of part of the Human condition to which many of us are subject.
The book did read very soap-opera, but that actually worked. It was a wholesome read promoting family values and integrity and, even if it couldn’t quite class itself as a page-turner in the traditional thrilling sense, I nonetheless found myself invested and engaged throughout.
