As the Current Pulls the Fallen Under

by Daryl Sneath

Vector Sorn—intellectual and athletic prodigy—witnesses the tragic death of his mother when he is just fourteen years old. For the next four years, he does his best to maintain a sense of purpose, and at eighteen sets his sights on Quest University. The night before he departs, his grandparents give him his mother’s journal, a tome filled with daily entries dating back to her own youth. When he finally brings himself to read it, a decades-old secret is revealed and Vector vows vengeance. But not before he meets Valerie Argent, a dauntingly beautiful flight attendant with whom Vector embarks on an unconventional, life-changing journey. Though the current may endeavour to pull Vector under, Valerie is there to provide the buoy that saves him.

[Kyle · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a solid novel with great character building and a genuinely endearing storyline. I found it to be intelligent and clever with an excellent use of language and a clear understanding of the power of long sentences. There was nothing flowery or gushy or over-embellished about this novel; rather, it felt classic and refined. A fine piece of good literature.
3.5/5
