What birds can only whisper

By (author): Julie Brickman

Kendra Quillan, the leader of a feminist band in Toronto, journeys from imminent career success back into her past to confront her troubled childhood.”Bold is too heartless a word for Julie Brickman’s stunning first novel: brave. Fresh is too tame for her sizzling style–try spectacular. This novel takes us to the post-trauma depths of the psyche; it’s like being in a submarine whose searchlight makes us gasp at never-before-seen crevasses, life-forms, seams of fire–terrible and beautiful.”–Sena Jeter Naslund, author of The Animal Way to Love
