– A Sparrow Falls is the third of Wilbur Smith's books I've read in the Courtney family series. Each has its own flavor; each one is delightful and hard to put down, but A Sparrow Falls was a real demonstration of a powerful writer taking his readers on a turbulent, tumbling ride on a river of adventure and emotion!
Yet Smith balances these intense scenes with humorous interludes, and equally intense romance and beauty.
The Courtney family books, though written in the '70s and '80s are as appealing as any recently written adventure stories.
They are timeless.
