This gripping tale presents a tragedy of war and romance
that send shock waves through two families, one in London and the other
in Midwest America.
Jack's Gift is
a historical fiction based on the death of Dorine
Andrews’ uncle during World War II. It opens
with a horrible military mishap. In November 1944, fictitious American
navigator Jack Jackson's B-17, Arf & Arf, is sliced in half by a friendly
B-17, Bad Time, while returning from a bombing operation. As a result, Arf
& Arf's entire crew is lost in the North Sea. The accident's specifics are
drawn from historical facts. Beginning two months after the disaster, the novel
picks up the plot and crafts a fascinating multifamily, a multicultural drama
that is breathtaking. The night prior to the accident, Jack has gotten engaged
to a lovely English woman who works at an Airbase in Glatton, England. On the
other side of things, Amahli Simmons — a part English and part Indian woman —
is pregnant with Jack’s baby. Meanwhile, Jack's parents, Joe and Dorothy
Jackson are grieving the death of their son hundreds of miles away, unaware of
the fact that they are soon going to become grandparents.
The stunningly imagined and superbly developed characters
come to life from the very first chapter, testifying to the power of
Andrews's descriptive prose and her exceptional ability to create
believable characters. Each character has their own unique personality as well
as a distinctive approach to dealing with challenging situations. For instance,
Amahli is a powerful and sensitive woman who navigates a convoluted story that
affects and influences many people's lives. Andrews captures the period's pulse
and ambiance, including its racial and cultural elements, with care. Jack's Gift shines in the author’s
ability to transform a predictable tale into one that is utterly engaging with
characters that are real and prose that is exciting.
