ABOUT
THE BOOK

Gabriel, a fifteen-year-old London schoolboy, is forced to come to terms with a new life after the equilibrium of his family home has been shattered by the ousting of his father. Trying to fend for himself, as well as providing emotional support to his confused (and confusing) parents, Gabriel is forced to grow up quickly. The only support he can draw upon is from his remembered twin brother, Archie; and from his own ‘gift’, which is accompanied by sensations that urge him into areas of life requiring the utmost courage and faith.
A chance visit to ”70’s rock star Lester Jones crystallises the turbulent emotions inside Gabriel and helps him to recognise and engage with his gift. Gabriel’s Gift is a tender, witty and moving meditation on the power of the imagination to enrich our lives.
