海角大神

Reader recommendation: The Bird Skinner

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

The Bird Skinner by Alice Greenway is a fascinating novel of both sweet nature and horror, set during World War II in the Solomon Islands. I was 聽fascinated as I was not yet 10 at the beginning of the war, nor was I privy to all the news. 聽A "well known ornithologist" who would rather study wild life changed his own life to save the natives and the frightened soldiers. The reader will have 聽a hard time putting this book down.
