Description
Deceptively simple and hugely entertaining, “The White Crow” is a modern parable about life. With a few master strokes of her pen, Neera has created an enchanted world that throbs with real emotions. There is anguish, pain and, finally – undistilled joy. It is all about the triumph of the spirit despite all odds. That is what makes it Everyman and Every woman’s story.
For, I believe, there is a white crow within each one of us. Read between the lines and you will find answers to all the questions deep within you. Plunge yourself into it and you will discover magical secrets about this journey of emotions we call life.
This multi-layered tale is truly timeless and universal. Neera is a writer to watch out for!
Review:
“We need superheroes today more than ever before, so what can be better than a supercrow; the most visible denizen o urban skies? Much like St. Exupery’s The Little Prince this story is a children’s parable on the surface but carries within it universal themes of acceptance, discrimination, self-discovery and ultimately forgiveness in the face of cruelty. A tale of human nature for our times and indeed for all times.”
