Book cover of ‘The Friend of the Family’ by Dean Koontz The Friend of the Family’ is the latest book by Dean Koontz. I’m a fan of Dean Koontz and have been since I was a teenager. I borrowed ‘Phantoms’ from the local library and had to keep it in the kitchen when I went to bed as it scared me that much! ‘If you’re looking for another horror book from Dean, then ‘A Friend of the Family’ isn’t for you. It’s a story of belonging and love and is an uplifting story of finding your place in the world. The story is seen through the narrative Alida, a girl with deformities and she’s exploited for them by being paraded around for people to mock and pity her. She longs for help and that comes in the shape of Loretta and Franklin who rescue her and bring her to leave with them and their 3 children and staff. Alida slots easily into the new life and even begins to forget that she’s different, but then she realises that she has the gift of healing and with this help saves lives as well as help others carry on. I loved Alida, she’s a gentle and kind soul, she’s quick witted and fun. I loved her interaction with the 3 children, Isadora, Gertrude and Harry and gave as good as she got when playing with them. The story travel through the years that Alida lives the family during the 1930s and it’s interesting to see the changes in the world through a child’s eyes. A tender story that is the complete opposite to Dean’s horror novels, ‘A Friend of the Family’ is well crafted story about uniqueness and belonged. You can buy ‘The Friend of the Family’ from Amazon and is available to buy from good bookshops.

Good morning! Happy Friday! 😊 Horrid weather outside 🌧 I was planning a walk, but I think cuddles with bubba and a good book is a much better plan!
Making a start on Dean Koontz #TheFriendOfTheFamily this morning, then a review coming up a bit later. Have a fab day everyone! 💙📚
