Taken from everyday life, the poignant vignettes in this book explore human themes which are universal. The protagonists don't appear ethereal: they do not possess shining halos and captivating wings, and they certainly aren't airborne. If anything, they bear blemishes. Yet, they do not allow their scars to diminish their essence; in fact, they stand tall in their uniqueness.
Not All Angels Fly, masterfully translated from the Malayalam bestseller Daivathinte Charanmar, delves into the intricate interplay between sin and sainthood, while shining a light on the often-overlooked acts of heroism by ordinary people. It begs the question: Should we strive to be flawless, or is it wiser to navigate our imperfections with dignity and compassion?
