Birding by Rose Ruane
Birding takes the temperature of the female nation. A powerful story about duty, consent, contrition and complicity; about the difference between love and obligation, and the boundary between unhealthy relationships and abusive ones.
'Dark, poetic, elegiac, thought-provoking and desperately sad - a masterclass in hauntology' * Stu Hennigan *
I wish I could write as vividly and wisely as Rose RuaneA beautiful book full of stark truths about relationships and self, framed in poetry and underscored by perfect analogies that had me nodding along in recognition throughout. The physical world of the book is alive and the internal worlds of the characters are deeply felt, as we are invited into their darkest thoughts and feelings and, in a way, asked to consider and process ourselves. Lyrical and evocative, highly recommended * Evie King, author of Ashes to Admin *
This unusual, uncomfortable novel is beautifully written * Daily Mail *
Fine, fierce... [an] empathetic, emotional reckoning * Mail on Sunday *
'Rose Ruane's second novel is like a memory box filled with sepia Polaroids and letters and trinkets... often funny, more often heartbreaking, but ultimately, cosmically hopeful... Birding is a novel for anyone who has ever asked themselves, "who am I?" or "am I enough?"' * Snack Magazine *
