A review by snowmaiden
The Conjurer's Bird by Martin Davies

4.0

This book comes across as something of a [b:Possession|488652|Possession|A.S. Byatt|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388866286s/488652.jpg|2246190]-lite. The plot and tone both seem to have been copied from that book without quite as much skill, and I didn't feel it left me with any new insights on the human condition. That being said, Davies is very skilled in his use of language and the love story he evokes is quite true to life. Although it is no masterpiece, this book was well worth my time, and I recommend it to anyone who likes stories of scholarly mysteries.
