{"product_id":"birds-in-fall-9780743287395","title":"Birds in Fall","description":"One fall night, an innkeeper on a remote island in Nova Scotia watches an airplane plummet to the sea. As the search for survivors envelops the island, the mourning families gather at the inn, waiting for news of those they have lost. Here among strangers, they form an unusual community, struggling for comfort and consolation. A Taiwanese couple sets out fruit for their daughter's ghost. A Bulgarian man plays piano in the dark, sending the music to his lost wife. Two Dutch teenagers rage against their parents' death. An Iranian exile, mourning his niece, recites the Persian tales that carry the wisdom of centuries. At the center of this striking novel is Ana Gathreaux, an ornithologist who specializes in bird migration, and whose husband perished on the flight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What unfolds is the story of how these families unite and disperse in the wake of the tragedy, and how their interweaving lives are ultimately transformed. Brad Kessler's knowledge of the natural world, music, and myth enriches every page.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743287395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.28w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Dayton Literary Peace Prize - Winner","brand":"Brad Kessler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36641453703324,"sku":"9780743287395","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e13a198d-4eea-46ce-b4ec-891d049cd01d.jpg?v=1603853566","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/birds-in-fall-9780743287395","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
