The Pearl by Geoffrey Knight

This is a very short, very sweet, very romantic story. And despite being short it tells you 12 years of the life of Jad and Luke, who met in first grade and kissed at 18 years old.

On the classic path of the prince and the poor, Luke is the only son of a wealthy business man who lives in a mansion in the suburbs; Jad is the half white, half Aborigine son of a pear diver and a nurse. Luke apparently has everything, Jad has nothing, but that first day it’s Jad who shares his sandwich with Luke: the boy is orphaned by mother and his father doesn’t care much about him. In Jad Luke finds not only a friend but probably also the family he is missing.

Even if they are always together, at school and out of it, until 18 years old, they are only friends; no one of them thinks to search love outside their friendship, since their friendship is everything they need. Luke spends all his free time in the quest of the perfect pearl, something that symbolize his perfect love for Jad. When he finally finds it, then it’s the moment to declare his love to Jad, and for Jad to accept it.

But they are only 18 years old, Luke only dream was to find the pearl, and he reached it, Jad instead wants to become a doctor; the story doesn’t end like that, the author explains that this is only part of their life he has told, and more has to come.

If you are familiar with Geoffrey Knight’s works (also as A.J. Ryan) you will be probably surprised by this short story; it’s mostly sweet, not sad but neither light, it’s so full of love that I wondered if there is not something of truth in it, maybe some good remembrances of the author himself.
