I really liked this book and the
way it is told by two people – Fergus Boggs and his daughter Sabrina.
Sabrina thought that she knew all
about her dad, but on finding his marble collection in the middle of other
possessions that were collected from his flat, and on hearing stories from his
marble friends and his family, she realises that she did not truly know him nor
did anyone else really.
The Marble Collector is a story
of family, love, friendship, lies, marbles, being lost and above all it is a
story of discovery – not only for Sabrina, but also for Fergus himself as he
relives his childhood memories and faces a way back from memory problems that
were brought on by a stroke and have left him feeling lost and cut off from the
world.
I have read most of Cecilia Ahern’s
book – just have another two to catch up on – and apart from her first novel
P.S I love you, this is in my opinion one of her best novels. It is a great read and a very engaging story.
I really do recommend it.
