Orla Hegarty’s Reviews > In the Land of Birdfishes > Status Update

In the first few chapters of this book I was reading with my former city slicker mind, 'The tragic premise is unthinkable...this couldn't happen'.

But then all the open secrets I know about in my new (4 yrs) tiny rural Canadian town came to mind. And the author is from Cape Breton so presumably she has lived this her whole life.

So now I'm devouring it with pleasure.
