Exploring the way our choices and relationships are shaped by the
menace and beauty of the natural world, Megan Mayhew Bergman's
powerful and heartwarming collection captures the surprising
moments when the pull of our biology becomes evident, when love or
fear collides with good sense, or when our attachment to an animal
or wild place can't be denied.
In "Housewifely Arts," a single mother and her son drive hours to
track down an African gray parrot that can mimic her deceased
mother's voice. A population-control activist faces the conflict
between her loyalty to the environment and her maternal desire in
"Yesterday's Whales." And in the title story, a lonely naturalist
allows an attractive stranger to lead her and her aging father on a
hunt for an elusive woodpecker.
As intelligent as they are moving, the stories in "Birds of a
Lesser Paradise "are alive with emotion, wit, and insight into the
impressive power that nature has over all of us. This extraordinary
collection introduces a young writer of remarkable talent.
