"A sweet, sad, sunny meditation on birds and music and the gentle approach of death."
—
John Rockwell, former New York Times arts critic and editor and founding director of Lincoln Center Festival
“The novel resembles a one-act play … capturing a life enriched by its commitment to art and antiquities and a man who makes an unusual decision when faced with a crucial choice. A work that weaves art and history into a fascinating tale.”
