'Song Of A Flying Sparrow ' by Dr. Rajeev Pundir is the story of a young girl Chia who has been brought up in affluence. Her highly ambitious mother holds money above anything else. The concealed truth of Chia's birth is revealed to her and begins her struggle to find her biological father.

The story is well organized in terms of plot. It is crisp, an easy read and intriguing. All the characters are well drawn and seem to be real, though I felt Chia's character a little deficient and had more scope in terms of strength and determination. I would have liked her to be a little more ambitious with an urge to carve a niche for herself being the 'sparrow' of the story. The book gives a fascinating insight into Rini's character, the mother of the protagonist, as a money-minded woman who would not mind going to any length to fulfill her desires.

Metaphors are brilliant at few places and speaks highly of the author's writing prowess.

Taking nothing away from the author, the book is marred by poor editing and pathetic typesetting. At many places reporting clause is in one line and the discourse is in the next. Also, the smaller font was really testing for my eyesight.

To sum up, 'Song Of A Flying Sparrow ' is a good read, not unusual but different, and a mature story from a mature writer.
I wish him all the very best.
