The Snow Goose

Product Information

The Snow Goose's" expressionistic ending will make an emotionally developed person cry a river, I promise. I do not believe it contains any artificial sentiments - nothing unneeded, actually. Sincere and great. This book is really to hard to write about. Very personal to me - the emotional plane is really deep and the characters are well-developed. The Snow Goose is a powerful book, a book what you will be sad to finish and it comes very highly recommended.

It is a story of natural beauty and the purest of bravery – a bravery when someone puts their own life at risk, for strangers, with no incentive of reward, renown or the duty. When the deed is done, simply because the help was desperately needed. When there is a choice – to turn away – or to act. John Ritchie composed "The Snow Goose" for flute and orchestra in 1982. In 1999 a version for flute and piano was created. [10] Allusions and references to real things [ edit ] I did like this book but I didn't love it. It is beautifully written but somehow detached, even though there's real affection in the detailed descriptions of the people he meets on his journey. Maybe that's it - affection rather than passionate love which is reserved perhaps for the emotions around concepts of 'home' and 'nostalgia'

I found it to be really repetitive, disconnected and too descriptive. It seems like 70% of the book was just imagery. Imagery is great, I love me some imagery, but there was just too much and what was being described in such strenuous detail was usually uninteresting or unimportant. Finnes added a lot of antidotes that were mildly interesting. These varied from the stories he heard on his journey to the history of nostalgia. It was apparent that most of these blurbs revolved around the central theme of home. Though it was easy to see, I wish the author had connected the ideas and the theme (even just subtly), rather than leave it fragmented. I realize it's part of the format of the memoir, but I think it was necessary; it would have been possible to achieve without compromising that format. The author mentioned some of the same things multiple times, sometimes it seemed word for word. These aspects resulted in the book not being exciting enough to hold my attention. Paul William Gallico was born in New York City, on 26th July, 1897. His father was an Italian, and his mother came from Austria; they emigrated to New York in 1895.
