The Marble Collector

Review by Bipasa Chatterjee (MBA 21-23)

The Marble Collector by Cecilia Ahern is a timeless novel about Sabrina Boggs whose world suddenly turns upside down when she stumbles upon mysterious possessions of her father, revealing secrets she didn't know existed. As the truth unravels, she goes on to realize how little she has known of the man she grew up with and the people around her.

While the story has been told from two different perspectives- Sabrina and her father, the importance of family ties, bonds and memories are central to the theme. As she discovers so much about her father's early life, Sabrina also comes to terms with her own identity in the process. Cecelia Ahern's mature writing style and storytelling amuses the reader and definitely wants them to go for more.
