‘A Bird from Afar' is a book I didn't know I needed until I read it. It is elegantly written, immersive historical fiction.
This book is a powerful reminder of Bose's values, ethics, and idealism. There is a lesson everywhere in all these pages on conduct and how one must stand for what they believe in.
Our lives and daily battles are too insignificant anyway, but still you can learn a lot from this book.
And it is a must-read for all those who are interested to know more about Bose.
Considering the subject of this book, it must have been a mammoth task to balance between history and fiction, meanwhile making it an interesting read. And yet, the author makes it all so easy.
The author deserves a gold medal for his research and command over the subject.
I felt like I've been transported to 1942 and I'm witnessing critical moments of the year which are going to change history. Never once did it read like fiction.
Hold tight for the author's note, which is the final chapter of this book.
