LITERARY TITAN REVIEW of A CAGE FOR MAGPIE

A Cage for Magpie by Eli Pope opens on a frigid day in Missouri, introducing us to a grief-stricken young girl named Maggie Mae DuVane, affectionately known as Magpie, as she attends her grandfather’s funeral. Magpie is in shock, struggling to cope with the sudden death of her beloved grandfather, David Duncan DuVane. David, an admired and rising fiction writer, had been descending into darkness before his untimely demise. His final novel, NEVER CAGE A MAGPIE, eerily seemed to foreshadow the events that unfolded, as if he had written it to hint at his tragic end. Connor, David’s closest friend, felt compelled to read on, seeking to uncover the causes of David’s madness. Meanwhile, David’s wife, Coraline, was left heartbroken and questioning the dark angels that plagued her husband’s mind. For Magpie, the loss was compounded by her desperate longing for the return of her mother, who had abandoned her.

Pope’s writing style is both intriguing and captivating. His premonition-like hints and deliberate word choices engage the listener, creating a mysterious and suspenseful atmosphere that keeps the pages turning. The secrets haunting David’s mind and compelling his actions become a central focus, with listeners eager to uncover the truth. The character development in A Cage for Magpie is commendable. Pope’s characters are realistic and relatable, each imbued with compassion and depth.

A Cage for Magpie is a riveting and emotionally charged novel that showcases Eli Pope’s talent for creating suspenseful and meaningful fiction. The book’s intricate plot, rich character development, and poignant themes make it a standout read. It is a story that not only entertains but also invites listeners to reflect on the complexities of the human psyche and the enduring power of love and resilience. Whether you are a fan of mystery and psychological drama or simply enjoy well-crafted literature, this book is a must-listen.

Riveting till the end

I was drawn into the twist and turns and turns out David and I sorta had some things in common. The writer knew when to turn the speed up and when to slow it down. Very well written and narrated! A must read!
