Jonathans Hope- a book

Yes, reading is still on the list these days and thank god, also those who still write new books. 

Hans M. Hirschi is one of them. He already wrote a couple of books and like with so many other authors you may not have heard about him yet. But you will after this post and you will also read one or two of his books for sure. He wrote non fiction first but then and now is also writing fiction, novels and one of his novels is- Jonathans Hope-. 

I finally had the chance and time to read this book and here is what I think....

A story about a young boy, abandoned from his own parents and next to dead when he sees a light in the beginning of the afternoon, while searching for a place to survive another night in the wood. 

What a dramatic start and this goes on. You'll read about heartbreak and pain, about love and being lost and about finding the right words. 

What makes this reading interesting is that the characters are allowed to grow and they get near your heart so fast, that it can hurt. 

The story has no waste in its way of telling and goes fort but even the view is not only to see from the main characters. The writer give us the gift to also see the world through the eyes of the others character without making the story stop or going slow. 

There is even a long loving making of those two main characters which is written in a way that it does not feel weird or painful. It even is not written like in a cliché.

And there are ups and downs in what the life of these people in the book are going through. 

Drama at is best I would say and just with this book H.M. Hirschi is for sure the queen of drama writing. 

Thought drama tend to not being realistic and that's another surprise while reading the book. It all feels very realistic, even the twist, the change in storyline and how the characters act. 

Thought in the last chapters the author put in a little sparkle, glitter and then some more speed into the story which otherwise seems to be already finished. This could maybe feel for some a bit strange and out of the way as the way the author writes changes too a bit but then, you get drawn to the story again so fast that you don't realise how you suddently could stand at the end of the line. 

You will have your tears, your laughters and your heart beating faster. 

The whole story is very intense, thought it is just a small book, but weights heavy. Sometimes it is hard to even read and this is not because of the style of writing, it is the story going on. Containing a couple of tabus we are not used to talk or read about.

You also will get one or two moments thinking about your own vision you have on people and how much we use to just touch the surface. 

Jonathans Hope by Hans M Hirschi is a book I can recommend but must warn that it is not an easy going story, or just a love story with a bit of drama. It is powerful, intens, captivating and will touch you inside and maybe trigger one or two memories you choose to hide. It is a book well written and at the end gives you hope for the fact that there is always a way to get through, if not for each of us, but for some. The ghost of the past will always last, but we can always smile, even when it is with a crying eye. You'll do this after you have read this book.
