All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld
4.0
An ugly story told beautifully.
Alternating chapters reveal Jake’s present, going forward, and her past, spooling in reverse and explaining how she became who she is now.
Australia us a place I’ve often imagined and wished to visit, mainly to see the landscape and fauna. This was a heartbreaking book to read now - for Jake’s trajectory, yes, but for all Australians and all the animals suffering terribly as the continent burns.
One star short because the answer to the mystery in the present is never shared with the reader. If it isn’t important, it shouldn’t be teased so heavily in all the advertising about the book.
