Where Doves Fly by Kamlesh Rajesham
The book’s narrative centres round Jack, the curious and
creative 10-year-old son of a pleasant and wealthy couple
settled in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Set in the backdrop of the
Iraq War, this children’s book lends an insight into
apprehensions experienced by shielded-from-adult-affairs
children, when they discover the dreaded word war. The
essence of the story, however, lies in the ten truths,
interspersed in seven chapters and which come up as wise
phrases that Jack scribbles in his diary on and off. Jack, wise
for his young years, hits upon these guidelines as he
traverses a world made complicated by adults.
A small, yet beautiful allegory. This simple story transmits a
much-needed philosophical perspective on war and peace. -
