About the Book

"A tantalizing tale wrapped in a tale....[the] perfect treat for the holidays." -Sara Gruen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of At the Water's Edge. A magical, fable-like Christmas story from Cecelia Ahern, the celebrated New York Times bestselling author of P.S. I Love You and Thanks for the Memories. Extremely successful executive Lou Suffern is always overstretched, immune to the holiday spirit that delights everyone around him. The classic workaholic who never has a moment to spare, he is always multitasking while shortchanging his devoted wife and their adorable children. And ever since he started competing for a big promotion, he has barely seen his family at all. One frigid morning in an uncharacteristic burst of generosity, he buys a cup of coffee for Gabe, a homeless man huddled outside his office building. Inspired by his own unexpected act of kindness, Lou decides to prolong his charitable streak and contrives to get Gabe a job in his company's mailroom. But when Gabe begins to meddle in Lou's life, the helping hand appears to be a serious mistake. Gabe seems to know more about Lou than Lou does about himself, and, perhaps more disturbingly, Gabe always seems to be in two places at once. With Lou's personal and professional fates at important crossroads and Christmas looming, Gabe resorts to some unorthodox methods to show his stubborn patron what truly matters and how precious the gift of time is. But can he help him fix what's broken before it's too late? A touching holiday read Perfect for fans of uplifting winter romances A delightful Christmas gift

Review :
"Utterly irresistible . . . I devoured it in one sitting. . . . If The Gift is a fairytale, then it's from the same template used by Hans Christian Anderson." - The Irish Times on The Gift "A moving tale . . . The Gift weaves magical elements into modern-day setting, and will certainly appeal to readers looking for a touching supernatural tearjerker." - Booklist "An updated version of Dickens's A Christmas Carol . . . with some surprising twists." - Boston Globe "A winning tale of magic and redemption. . . . Ahern's an accomplished storyteller, and her writing chops elevate this far above the normal holiday fare. There's magic, but it's not campy, and the sentiment is real." - Publishers Weekly "THE GIFT is a tantalizing tale wrapped in a tale that I devoured in one sitting. It's a perfect treat for the holidays." - Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants "Light holiday fare with a lesson . . . [that] encourages readers to appreciate the important things. . . . Ahern has a way with character." - Kirkus Reviews "[A] holiday treat . . . This clever twist on the guardian angel story will appeal to Ahern's fans and lovers of holiday fiction." - Library Journal "This modern-day Scrooge tale is a delightful read with plenty of fun twists and turns." - USA Today "Charming . . . The Gift is like a warm sweater." - Associated Press
