The Girl, The Balcony & The Dove is a brave debut novel that skillfully delves into profound social issues encompassing love, faith, hope, despair and the arduous journey towards redemption. It invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, as they navigate the intricate web of emotions and experiences that shape the lives of the characters within its pages. The story serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of the institutions of family and religion on the development and well-being of young people, particularly during their formative years. It seeks to inspire readers to reflect upon the role of these institutions in their own lives and the lives of those around them.
The story is so familiar yet not what you are expecting, and the characters are so real that you are almost certain you know them. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
