This stunning debut - like The Lovely Bone fragments - is a child's story narrated from the afterlife, and an psychological fable about love, forgiveness, and what most makes us individuals. Right away of this astonishing first book, eight-year-old Jess confirms herself in heaven looking at her short life. She is guided in this with a being she telephone calls the Assembler of Parts, and her process, as she understands it, is to glean her life's so this means. From beginning, it was evident that she was unlike other children: she was born without thumbs. The Assembler left out other areas too, for she is suffering from a syndrome of birth problems that leaves her flawed. But soon it becomes clear that by her very imperfections she has a distinctive ability to pull love from - and heal - those around her, from the team of doctors who rally to her care and attention, to the parents who get together over her, to the grandmother whose guilt she assuages, to the family good friend whom she helps reconcile with an upset past. Having a voice filled with wisdom and laughter, she explains to their tales too. Yet, only once she dies out of the blue and her parents are suspected of disregard, unleashing a chain of occurrences beyond her treatment, does the meaning of her life enter into full focus. In support of then will the Assembler's purpose become clear. With prose that is rich in sentiment - from laughter to tears to outrage to joyful relief - and an eloquence that distills poetry from the dialect of medication and the words for common things, Raoul Wientzen has sent a book of exceptional beauty that talks to themes as profound as faith, what makes us individuals, and the value of a life.
