Acerca de esta escucha

Fate challenges a boy to find his place in the world in a powerful short story from Abraham Verghese, the New York Times bestselling author of The Covenant of Water.

It’s a New Jersey summer in 1967, and thirteen-year-old Ravi Ramanathan has the makings of a tennis prodigy. His surgeon father encourages his ambition, while his mother dreams of their only child following his father’s path. Surrounded by his parents’ love, Ravi chafes a bit at their daily routines and little traditions. Then one unexpected day, everything changes. Realizing how much he took for granted, Ravi must grow up overnight and find a new role in the life of his family.

I loved this. I ironed while I listened to it. The story of an Indian boy and his mother grieving the loss of the father entranced me, especially the Hindu rituals around death and the new things the bereft do to move on. I had listened to The Covenant of Water and decided to try this novella. I was not disappointed.

Fantastic Storytelling

A beautiful story, beautifully told. A coming of age moment, with cross cultural traditions, communities, and kindnesses that make a difference during a time of crisis. With these angels in the whirlwind of our lives, we are comforted, and able to move forward.

Angels in the Whirlwind; the value of community

The authenticity, and ability to relate to Ravi and him mom's personalities. It felt like I know them and was experiencing the moments right besides them...

I know them.
