The Flight of Pigeons – Ruskin Bond

Something that doesn’t fit into the Ruskin Bond style. Not recommended if you have something better to read.

I have read Ruskin Bond. Those were good, in the sense that it was as simple as he meant it to be. This is a serious subject. This doesn’t leave you with the kind tranquility other Bond books leave you. Nor does it make an impact in you such a subject would have made.

It is about Ruth Labador & her mother during the British Empire in India and the 1857 revolution. How they were orphaned and how they survived. Nothing more about the book.

With all respect and admiration to Ruskin Bond; pick up some other book of his, not this.

Surprising. I would've thought even this one was good considering the simplicity of his writing that usually touches hearts.
