Hi there,
This is the last Little Sparks piece for 2024—how time flies. This year (as of today), I’ve read 121 books, 14 of which were 5-star reads. It’s been a pretty good reading year.
Here’s my reading highlight:
The Fishermen by Chigozie Obioma
4 stars
A literary magic that took me on a rollercoaster of emotions and sometimes left me speechless.
Told by nine-year-old Benjamin, the youngest of four brothers, The Fishermen tells the aftermath of a meeting with a madman by a forbidden nearby river who persuades the oldest of the boys that he is destined to be killed by one of his siblings.
This was an excellent take on the genre of family literature meets historical fiction.
