SHORTLISTED FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2021'Beecher displays an exciting command of her craft, weaving together disparate timeframes and points of view with an assured lightness of touch'Sarah Moss'I adored this novel'Pandora Sykes'What a gorgeous book. Lovingly told, with a poet's eye for the small miracles to be found in each passing moment' Charlie Gilmour'Powerful, sensual, deeply moving . . . A stunning novel I read in two evenings'Clover StroudIt begins with a miracle: a baby born too small and too early, but defiantly alive. This is Joe. Decades before, another miracle. In a patch of nettle-infested wilderness, a seventeen year old boy falls in love with his best friend, Jack. This is Edward. Joe gains a sister, Emily. From the outset, her life is framed by his. She watches him grow into a young man who plays the violin magnificently and longs for a boyfriend. A young man who is ready to begin. Edward, after being separated from Jack, builds a life with Eleanor. They start a family and he finds himself a grandfather to Joe and Emily. When Joe is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Emily and the rest of the family are left waiting for a miracle. A miracle that won't come. Here Comes the Miracle is a profoundly beautiful story about love and loss; and about the beautiful and violent randomness of life.
