Leigh is a teenager who has just lost her mother to suicide. While she is still trying to grasp what has happened, her mother visits her in the form of a bird. As Leigh seeks answers, she stumbles across more questions - about her mother‘s past, about her family history, and about her feelings for her best friend Axel. This is such a thoughtful, creative story. And the prose is just gorgeous, so vivid and expressive. Very unique storytelling.
