Through a glass, Darkly by Jostein Gaarder

It’s almost Christmas. Cecilia lies sick in bed as her family bustle around her to make her last Christmas as special as possible. Cecilia has cancer. An angel steps through her window. So begins a spirited and engaging series of conversations between Cecelia and her angel. As the sick girl thinks about her life and prepares for her death, she changes subtly, in herself and in her relationships with her family.

An interesting and serious book although one i’m not sure i understood fully. Having read other books with more obvious message’s i would choose those over this one. It’s not a bad book just not one that grabbed me. It was well written and like other books by Gaarder it contained very deep, philosophical messages.
