If you're drawn to novels that transport you not only to other places but deep into the emotional landscapes of their characters, "The Sound of Things Falling" should be your next read. Vasquez weaves Colombia's violent past with an intimate tale of human vulnerability, crafting a narrative that's as profoundly personal as it is politically resonant. You'll find yourself gripped by the melancholic beauty of his prose and the haunting echoes of history's impact on the present.

Description
No sooner does he get to know Ricardo Laverde in the billiard halls of Bogotá than young Colombian lawyer Antonio Yammara realises that the ex-pilot has a secret. Antonio's fascination with his new friend's life grows until the day Ricardo receives a mysterious cassette in an unmarked envelope. Shortly afterwards, he is shot dead on a street corner; Yammara's investigation into what happened leads back to the early 1960s, marijuana smuggling and a time before the cocaine trade trapped Colombia in a living nightmare.
