Three Apples Fell from the Sky

By: Narine Abgaryan

Narrated by: Anoush NeVart

In an isolated village high in the Armenian mountains, a close-knit community bickers, gossips, and laughs. Their only connection to the outside world is an ancient telegraph wire and a perilous mountain road that even goats struggle to navigate.

As they go about their daily lives - harvesting crops, making baklava, tidying houses - the villagers sustain one another through good times and bad. But sometimes, all it takes is a spark of romance to turn life on its head, and a plot to bring two of Maran's most stubbornly single residents together soon gives the village something new to gossip about....

Three Apples Fell from the Sky is an enchanting fable that brilliantly captures the idiosyncrasy of a small community. Sparkling with sumptuous imagery and warm humor, this is a vibrant tale of resilience, bravery, and the miracle of everyday friendship.

Beautifully written

A lovely, lyrical fable. It might not appeal to readers who are looking for a plot-driven story; there is very little plot, but this is like reading a book of fables about an isolated community of aging but resilient people. The narrator was perfect for this prose-based story.

A lovely story

A lovely story that swept me away to another world. An art filled story… The narrator was awesome - making it all come alive!

Beautiful and yet sad

The struggle and pain people have got through makes this book both painful and beautiful.

Long, winding, boring

It had some charming moments but overall I found it tedious. I’m eager to see if anyone in my book group liked it.
