After some false starts and a tiring technical snag, I got my hands on Vicki Olsen’s ‘A Sparrow Falls’.
First, the book cover intrigued me. After reading the sample, I was quite keen to read the full story. I must say, the story took me by surprise. Vicki has this talent of giving life to words, which may otherwise remain one-dimensional.
She has captured the pathos of Sarah with finesse. Somewhere, her thoughts resonated with mine and the characters and the narrative stayed with me. I could not somehow shake off the melancholy after completing the book. This is an extremely sensitive and deftly narrated story set in the 1960’s.
According to me, this is a must read book of the Year 2018. Do pick it up and you won’t be disappointed.
