Fly Away Peter
Fly Away Peter | David Malouf
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
For three very different people brought together by their love for birds, life on the Queensland coast in 1914 is the timeless and idyllic world of sandpipers, ibises and kingfishers. In another hemisphere civilization rushes headlong into a brutal conflict. Life there is lived from moment to moment. Inevitably, the two young men - sanctuary owner and employee - are drawn to the war, and into the mud and horror of the trenches of Armentieres. Alone on the beach, their friend Imogen, the middle-aged wildlife photographer, must acknowledge for all three of them that the past cannot be held.

Listening to this, I'm usually not too good with audiobooks, get a lot more distracted than if I am reading for myself but in the current state of quiet I have already managed to listen to 4 chapters.

MariettaSG Audiobook just didn‘t get me through 4y
Curiouser_and_curiouser I have this one on my shelf and have owned it for quite a while. I've just now read through the blurb and it reveals the ending! 😩 I do like books around the time of the war, I'm currently reading Slaughterhouse 5 and The Viennese Girl which are both set during WW2. Fly Away Peter is only a short book, I hope I get to reading it one day soon. Sorry you didn't make it to the end. 4y
