The Sound of Things Falling
The Sound of Things Falling

Colombian turmoil, personal history intertwines with tragedy.

"The Sound of Things Falling" is an evocative journey into the heart of Colombia's dark past. Juan Gabriel Vásquez crafts a narrative that not only explores the weight of history on individual lives but also offers a deeply personal perspective on how a country's turmoil can echo through the decades. The story reveals compelling layers as it delves into themes of memory, trauma, and the inescapable nature of the past. It's a perfect read if you're in search of a novel that blends intimate storytelling with a broader historical context.
