Bird Summons by Leila Aboulela

adventurous emotional funny hopeful inspiring mysterious reflective medium-paced

3.5

At first I found the storytelling a bit awkward and didactic, but by the end I was caught up in what became a fantastical fable of self-discovery and moral growth. The nod to George MacDonald was apt, and though the writing style remained clunky, it did have some nice lyrical moments.
