The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot

4.0

I studied this book for school and I loved it. It is about Lottie, a young German-Australian in the 1960s dealing with feelings of loss, isolation, and loneliness. She takes up an interest in taxidermy as a way to connect with beings that have had life taken away from them. The poetic structure, the storyline, the emotional context and the overall content of the story was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone! It is relatively short and fast-paced but is still jam-packed with information and contains a wonderful storyline.
