From the critically acclaimed author of Standing Still comes a psychologically charged novel about the power and failure of family.
In the tradition of Anita Shreve and Sue Miller, Simmons delivers a psychologically charged novel about the power and failure of family.
“Some novels are meant to be read slowly, savoring each word, while others push you to keep turning pages, teased on by the promise of secrets revealed. And then there are novels that are both, like
The Bird House by Kelly Simmons. This book is so beautifully written that I felt guilty racing through it to discover what happens, and so I read it a second time, happy to spend another day under the spell of the story's brilliantly realized narrator.” —Lisa Tucker, author of
The Winters in Bloom
