Wonder if I…
How do you take a mesh of human emotions that is often mercurial and mostly complicated, and tell a story? You make it simple. Wonder is a delightful read, not just for its beam of sunshine and positive vibes, but also for its marvellously simple narrative. The movie adaptation of the book is out and available. But I urge you to read the book. Not because I am what they call a bibliophile, but because I am a cynic who felt optimism beaming at her through this tale of a little boy with a distorted face. August’s tale is not his alone, it is the story of his friends and family and how they are affected by his appearance. It makes us wonder are we all who we claim to be, or are we just hypocrites in hiding. A short read, that will leave you wondering long after.
