In a grey and frightened world driven to despair by the pandemic, Ruskin Bond’s luminous new book, It’s a Wonderful Life, cuts through the gloom like a blade of bright steel. His unerring eye seeks out the joys and positive truths to be found in the smallest of incidents that occur in our lives, the good news and sources of happiness that we often miss out on as a result of the anxiety and bad news that has pervaded our daily existence over the past year. Perceptive, uplifting, and deeply moving, It’s a Wonderful Life is another triumph from one of our most beloved writers.
