First Light

Talking about books is an unending and all energizing experience.
You forget the world around and start living in the book while you are journeying through it.
I always have an alluring after-effect when I finish reading a good book. It takes me some time to get out of the enthralling experience.
I am passing through such a stupor after having read the ‘FIRST LIGHT’ by Rebecca Stead. With an interesting theme for the book, author takes us to the bare face of the truth that the world dreads of at this very moment.
How do you find a life under a layer of an enormous ice-sheet where no sunray has ever entered? The story of Peter, a teenager, takes us to imagine a life all alienated from the world above its hidden existence, ever known.
A very different world of Thea, a girl of 14, curious and courageous, exists under the icy glacier of Greenland, which is threatened to sink down as a consequence of global-warming.
With Thea and Peter exploring the lost human generations on Greenland, we also pass through the unnerving and astonishing discoveries.
The author presents before us the picture of what global-warming is on a verge to create.
I was so lost reading this really atypical word that I literally felt numb with the icy sensation running through me.
I’m waiting for such a fantastic experience again.
