Description
Birds in Fall is a poignant novel about the lives that intersect in the aftermath of tragedy. When an airplane crashes off the coast of a remote island, the families of those on board come together at a local inn, each struggling to cope with their loss.
As the days pass, the strangers-turned-friends form an unlikely community, sharing their stories and finding comfort in each other's company. From a Taiwanese couple laying fruit for their daughter's ghost to a Bulgarian man playing piano in the dark, each person's tale is a testament to the power of love, loss, and memory.
At the heart of this moving novel is Ana Gathreaux, an ornithologist whose husband perished in the crash. As the lives of these families intertwine, Brad Kessler's richly detailed prose brings the natural world, music, and myth to life, creating a story that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
