Synopsis

“Heaven knows never a Sparrow Falls” is the third book of a trilogy which spans the life and loves of a man who, like the ordinary little sparrow, is able to survive in a world fraught with hazards.  Admittedly, some are of his own making; others, created by those around him.

This book tells of the author’s emotional survival of life’s many experiences.  The appeal of these stories is the common thread which runs through everyone’s lives.  The author draws inspiration for his observances from many different sources including songs which resonate with us all, his inquisitive mind, zest for life, and his abiding love for the Spanish people, including his Spanish wife, give these books a vitality drawn from the ebb and flow of a life lived to the full.  The stories show an astonishing ability to weave the past and the present together. They include an unerring observation of the human condition creating a compelling concoction of depth of feeling and an understanding of how the parts of the jigsaw fit. The effect is palpably visual – the songs, the smells, the sounds, the food, the scenery are melded to create the atmosphere of several different countries and the experiences of one man. 

These tales are from “El Gorrion Ingles”, who like the unassuming little sparrow, can study his subject without being observed; his presence is undetected.  The stories are written for entertainment but inherently have an element of the unexpected which can be likened to the thought of riding a roller coaster and discovering Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of gravity.
