A review by ineffablebooks
Fly Away Peter by David Malouf
5.0
David Malouf manages to fit so much detail into just one page, or even a paragraph, that you come out of this novella thinking you've just read a 300 page book. Therefore, within the first 20 pages you already have a favorite character and are waiting anxiously for them to reappear later in the book.
Brilliantly written - I went into this book thinking I knew what was going to happen, but was pleasantly surprised by the end of it.
I'm not into sad books, especially war-time stories, but it was a book we are analyzing for uni, so I had little choice. But what sets this books apart from other war-time/cry-your-eyes-out stories, is the way it describes nature, the birds and somehow manages to pick out every detail and capture every emotion.
(and its not all that sad, which was great.)
Definitely an inspirational book: Read if convenient. If inconvenient, read anyway.
