Review: The Guardian Angel's Journal - Carolyn Jess-Cooke - April 2011

Being praised as the new Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveller's Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry which I reviewed on http://www.chicklitclub.com/ I bring to you "The Guardian Angel's Journal" by Carolyn Jess-Cooke. This novel is superb and for anyone that hs ever believed that we all have guardian angels watching over us, this is the novel to add to your must-read pile. When Margot dies , leaving behind a son Theo who is on trial for Murder . She goes to Heaven and is told that in a way she will be given a second chance at life , she is to come back as a Guardian Angel named Ruth and is to watch over Margot from birth to just before she died. For Margot, as she watches from birth, there are lots of blanks and fill-in-the spaces of memories that she didn't realise had happened to her, from her real parents, to being passed from foster home to foster home to eventually the orphanage which was to be the worst time of her life. Throughout the novel, she also meets lots and lots of different guardian angels. Margot has been given one clear rule as Ruth, to sit back and not change anything that has happened, but can she watch her son's troubles and tragedies all over again, so when an opportunity arises for Ruth to step in and help save her son from making the most horrible mistake of his life, will she realise too late that one single change could result in consequences, that no one could ever have imagined too ?
Personally I found this book to be in similarities to Catherine Ryan Hyde's book "When I found You" and Caroline Overington's story "Ghost Child".
