Introducing The Love Song of Mr. Byrd ...
A red maple tree branch, a summer twilight, and an unlikely friendship.
"Governor General's Literary Award-winning author Philippa Dowding creates a charming new tale about an unlikely friendship between a bat and a bird. The lyrical, atmospheric story unfolds as a naive and unsure morning bird meets a kind and worldly nocturnal bat. The two meet by chance at twilight, and over the course Read more of this blog post »

Picked it up because it won the Booker in 2018. An interesting, dense narrative style experiment which took me a bit to get into, but hey, I read Riddley Walker years ago and this isn't nearly as strange as that book. A stream of consciousness style ...more |

If you write (or paint or dance or sculpt or sing, I suppose), someone will try to make you feel lousy about it, that's all.”

Hi Philippa,Hope all is well in your world. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth; just left the social network. (It's been a year and a half already.) It wasn't a a healthy fit for me. New book coming out next spring. In the meantime, I'm honing my painting skills. Who knows? Perhaps I can become an illustrator. To catch up on my activity or to get in touch, please visit me at my website: www.kristinbutcher.com
