This was a wonderful book. I won this book on Goodreads in exchange for my honest review.
From the cover of the book I was instantly captivated. To me, it has to be one of the most beautiful book covers of all time. Then from page one I continued to stay immersed in the story all the way through. What a gem this book is. It takes place in Australia, as that is where the actual author currently resides. The author is very sweet and I am privileged to have spoken to him and the copy that I have is signed. In brief the story revolves around a man who is a bookshop owner, who is losing it all. His wife, his shop, his friends, his reputation, his freedom, his dignity, his world...all slowly eeking away from him. One thing remains true to him and that is a little blue Fairy Wren.

This little bird brings many things he didn't quite bargain for. I was caught up in this book like a tornado and it wouldn't let me go. Its a book that you will think about years later. There are lessons to be learned. I really cared for the main character.

I hope this fresh author goes very far in the book realm. He deserves it.
