The summer season is fast approaching and it is time to make that commitment to relax, so, visit your local library and read a little more. One way to introduce yourself to some outstanding literature is to read debut novels.
Debut novels are authors' first novels, and often become best sellers.
Perhaps one of the best debut novels is the recently released Snow Falcon, by Stuart Harrison. Snow Falcon is a novel about passion, a love of animals, heartbreak and the hope of redemption. The main character, Michael Somers, returns to his hometown after being released from treatment. Although he finds relocating to his hometown somewhat difficult due to the stigma associated with murder, he finds solace in his valiant attempt to save the life of a gyrfalcon, who he names Cully, and the relationships he establishes with a young mother, Susan Baker, and her son, Jamie, who has lost his ability to speak after the death of his father. In 1921, two sisters, Moira and Julia O'Leary, are faced with the duty of raising their young sister Ann, after the death of their mother.
