This beautifully crafted verse novel is, above all, a story about resilience, the importance of poetry, and the healing power of small acts of kindness. Told in verse form, the novel tells the story of Maddy and Alice, two very different people brought together by trauma. Through spare yet lyrical prose, Sharon Kernot explores the way both characters navigate their healing journeys. The writing is evocative and immersive, with the verse form adding an extra layer of intimacy to an already intimate story. Birdy is a deeply moving and beautifully crafted book that will linger in the hearts and minds of readers long after the final page.
