With its deft interweaving of psychological complexity and riveting narrative momentum, with its gorgeous prose and poetic justice, \u003ci\u003eThe Gravity of Birds\u003c\/i\u003e is about sibling rivalry, tragedies, and resurrections. And it's irresistibly exquisite (\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eForty-four years after the brilliant young painter, Thomas Bayber, first meets Alice and Natalie Kessler, Bayber unveils a never-before-seen work, \u003ci\u003eKessler Sisters\u003c\/i\u003e--a provocative painting depicting the young Thomas, Alice, and Natalie. Bayber asks Dennis Finch, an art history professor, and Stephen Jameson, an eccentric young art authenticator, to sell the painting. But their task becomes more complicated when the artist requires that they first locate Alice and Natalie, who seem to have disappeared. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold in alternating chapters that weave revelations about the sisters' past with clues Finch and Jameson discover in the present, this story sets three characters on a collision course with their histories, showing how families tear themselves apart and then try to bind themselves together again, not always creating the same fabric. \u003ci\u003eThe Gravity of Birds\u003c\/i\u003e combines the drama of warring sisters, the mystery of a missing painting, and the sorrow of lost love into a haunting elegy that will.leave you breathless (Tiffany Baker, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Little Giant of Aberdeen County\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50383764324625,"sku":"CIN1451689764G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50406426870033,"sku":"CIN1451689764VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51330988540177,"sku":"CIN1451689764A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1451689764.jpg?v=1750827373","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/products\/gravity-of-birds-buch-tracy-guzeman-9781451689761","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
