The Evening Chorus by Helen Humphreys

5.0

This is a beautifully written elegant story. When I bought it, I thought it was simply about a captured soldier during WWII, but it's much more than that. It revolves around the lives of James (the soldier and the birdman), his new wife and his sister, both during and after the war. The conflict affects them all in different ways and it is how they all cope in the aftermath that is the most affecting - perhaps because many "war" novels end at the end of hostilities. Recommended if you like novels set in WWII, intelligent relationship tales and particularly nature writing. Or just a damn good story ;o)
