This book was written with a loving eye to the Ethiopian landscape and all that dwells within. The search for the "rarest bird in the world" was perfectly balanced against stunning descriptions of place and time, with sensitivity to environmental and social portrayal of the time period.
The search for an elusive species, previously identified by only a wing, unfolds in a engaging narrative that takes on a contemplative quality regarding the nature of being "rare".
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which is a departure from my typical reading preferences.
This book was
receieved as a digital ARC through NetGalley in return for a fair and honest
review. Thank you for the opportunity.
