This book is blazing new trails. Breaking walls, bending genre. The writing is just impeccable. Something to revisit again and again.

An interesting cross between a memoir and prose. Made up of essays written in unconventional structure. Describes the author’s family issues in addition to the failure of her marriage - interspersed are facts and scientific notes about various bird species. Overall this book missed the mark with me. Already reading something outside my comfort zone and then throw in the fact that this book was not meant for me at this point in my life. Two stars. I think those who enjoy poetry and this type of writing would like this book but overall it wasn’t for me.

Wow! This book is short in page count, but NOT in shared life experiences, family drama, birds ❤️, nature and insects, personal growth, and honesty. This is a hidden gem, and I can see myself reading passages from thus again in the future. Wonderful writing!
