'Birding gave me everything I want in a novel, including a massive, cathartic cry at the end. Achingly poignant, yet ultimately hopeful' Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things
In the nineties, Lydia was one half of a teen pop group - sexy, edgy, girly yet 'in control'. But with no clue how to handle herself, she simply let things happen to her. Now, thirty years later, with #MeToo revelations a daily reality, a famous ex-lover resurfaces with a slick, self-serving apology, demanding forgiveness. Suddenly, Lydia is overwhelmed with memories of a harmful time in her life that refuses to leave her in peace.
Meanwhile, Joyce has never left home and the suffocating grip of her mother, Betty. For decades their lives have intertwined, even wearing matching dresses and make-up, as they follow a rigid daily routine. A single misstep can send Betty spiralling, so Joyce stays inside the tracks. But something unfamiliar is rising inside Joyce - a whispered what if . . .
Against the faded backdrop of a once-grand seaside resort, Lydia and Joyce are trapped in worlds of their own making. But as they both confront their pasts - the toxic men, the forgotten dreams, the twisted expectations - fate is about to throw them together, as they wrestle with the question: Can we ever truly take flight on broken wings?
'A surprisingly moving and uplifting book that asks what it means to fully become ourselves' Irish Times
'A beautiful book full of stark truths about relationships and self . . . Lyrical and evocative, highly recommended' Evie King, author of From Admin to Ashes
'Often funny, more often heartbreaking, but ultimately, cosmically hopeful . . . Birding is a novel for anyone who has ever asked themselves, "who am I?" or "am I enough?"' Snack Magazine
