Book Look - #37

A QUIVER FULL OF ARROWS by Jeffrey Archer

Plot: Another collection of 11 crisp short stories spanning across various genres.

Highlights:
  • The variety in terms of the level of humour, satire, irony, honour and emotions portrayed in these stories vary hugely and such a diverse presentation within the short story template captivates.
  • Stories that especially surprise include ones that act as flagship for principle as a matter of honour, for love that transcends years.
  • The final story with a fictional biblical allusion shows how even very simple thinking can yield stories that delight the reader.
