The wonderful newly published novel "God's Wren" by Amelia Cartman Alcazar has received ecstatic preliminary revues, and we wish to avail our customers of the pleasure of reading this inspirational tale.
An excerpt of a review from the weekly publication The Valesburg (NJ) Widower follows:
Amelia Cartman Alcazar has established herself as a coming giant of literature with her first novel "God's Wren". This work deserves to be ranked among the top seventy-five novels of all time, and, perhaps, as the best first novel ever written.
Multi-millionaire California doctor Josephius Brindleman ("Proctologist to the Stars") is bored, unmotivated and depressed. With his marriage failing and mourning the loss of his long time companion dog "Pilaf", he finds no pleasure or fulfillment in his lucrative pursuits.
While participating in another humdrum celebrity golf tournament, Dr. Brindleman wanders into a thickly wooded copse looking for a badly shanked drive. It is here that he is surprisingly abducted (by whom and why we will not reveal) and imprisoned in an abandoned missile silo. Here he soon finds that he is not alone, but shares imprisonment with a small girl who speaks in a language he cannot identify, let alone understand.
As time passes, he becomes aware of the little girl's passion and concern for her tiny pet bird, which appears weak and ill. He marvels at the girl's selflessness and dedication in an apparently hopeless pursuit, namely, to save the bird, both from illness and imprisonment.
Dr. Brindleman finally manages to diagnose the bird's malady as radiation sickness, and manages to cure the bird, and to free the bird, the girl and himself from the silo. He finally comes to understand the startling reason for his abduction. This is a taut tale, poignantly told.
The cathartic resolution, and the metamorphosis of Dr. Brindleman in a whole and caring person, is both a revelation and an inspiration for all to relish.
