Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

A profound literary novel set in Nova Scotia, Brad Kessler's Birds in Fall explores grief, healing, and community through the intertwined stories of families, loss, and the natural world. One fall night, an innkeeper on a remote island in Nova Scotia watches in horror as an airplane plummets to the sea--a tragedy that will forever change the island's quiet rhythm. As the search for survivors envelops the island, the mourning families gather at the inn, waiting for news of those they have lost. Here among strangers, they form an unusual community, struggling for comfort and consolation. A Taiwanese couple sets out fruit for their daughter's ghost. A Bulgarian man plays piano in the dark, sending the music to his lost wife. Two Dutch teenagers rage against their parents' death. And an Iranian exile, mourning his niece, recites the Persian tales, echoing the enduring wisdom of myth and the universal search for solace. At the center of this striking novel is Ana Gathreaux, an ornithologist whose husband perished on the flight. As she studies bird migration and the fragile patterns of the natural world, Ana finds in the rhythm of wildlife and flight a mirror of her own journey through mourning, pain, and eventual healing. Her quiet reflections connect the cycles of nature with the emotional landscape of human loss, offering insight into loss and the possibility of renewal through connection. What unfolds is a stunning saga of transformation--how those bound by tragedy and loss come together to find meaning, connection, and hope amid unimaginable pain. Brad Kessler's knowledge of the natural world, music, and myth enriches every page.…
