Freefall: A Divine Comedy by Lily Iona MacKenzie
4.0
Freefall really hit home for me. Perhaps because I am of a similar age to the four ladies at the center of the story. I understand the longing for the simple freedoms of youth while staring down the specter of death. The desire to have one last grand attempt at leaving your mark upon the world versus reveling in your current life and family legacy.
There are many lessons to be learned through the words, deeds, and humor of this book. If you read it, be prepared to contemplate your life. It has that type of effect on you.
Please don’t think Freefall is only a darkly thought-provoking story. The author manages to fill the story with unique, over-the-top humor.
I’m impressed with the depth of each character, including the pigeon. You won’t be disappointed if you pick up a copy of this book. The questions at the end make it perfect for a book club discussion.
