Sparrow Falls | Wilbur Smith
2 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
A Courtney series adventure - Book 3 in the When the Lion Feeds trilogy "Mark picked the weapon off the rack and the shape and feel of it brought memories crowding back. He thrust them aside. He would need a rifle where he was going." A father builds. A son destroys. General Sean Courtney returns from the horrors of the Great War in France, his mind on his heirs and his legacy. He is watching three potential successors: his beautiful but spoiled daughter, Storm: his corrupt, disgraced son Dirk; and his new young assistant, Mark Anders, a fellow survivor of the trenches. Mark finds himself trapped between Sean's two children, shaped by an impossible love for Storm, and a victim of Dirk's ongoing hatred, greed and jealousy. With all Sean's experience of war and family, can he protect Mark -- and everything Sean has ever stood for?

Book #3 in the Courtney Family series. This book is mainly from a non-Courtney point of view, although Mark Ander‘s is close enough to almost be considered family. There is war in this book, but mostly it has to do with the plummeting wildlife and efforts to create a refuge. Along with all the family, political, and romantic drama of course.

Mehso-so

I've only recently started reading Wilbur smiths books and ate up the first two of the Courtney tales. This one however was mediocre. I didn't hate it but it didn't have me hooked like the first 2 until the end.
