Parakeet by Marie-Helene Bertino

5.0

Absolutely wild, psychedelic, and spectacular. A nameless bride is preparing for her wedding at a hotel, but then her dead grandmother visits her as a bird and tells her not to get married and to find her estranged brother. The grandmother-bird also poops on her wedding dress. It's a universal fact that a story featuring an avian and wedding dress-pooping dead grandmother is bound to be good. This novel is a lovely mix of comedy and tragedy - later we find out that the bride has some unresolved issues from her unpleasant past.
