Book: Birds in Fall by Brad Kessler

I found Birds in Fall a perfect novel; it reminded me somewhat of The Elegance of the Hedgehog which I also thought was perfect.

The characters, the physical geography (an island off Nova Scotia), and the story are all wonderfully written. I don't want to give anything away so am not going to say much about the book but Annie Dillard says: "Once in a blue moon a book like Birds in Fall comes along...."

It is whole unto itself...with a beginning, a middle and an end. In evocative and graceful prose, the author tells a story that left me satisfied.
