Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
âThe Evening Chorus serenades people brutally marked by war, yet enduring to live â and relish â the tiny pleasures of another day. With her trademark prose â exquisitely limpid â Humphreys convinces us of the birdlike strength of the powerless.â â Emma Donoghue
Downed during his first mission, James Hunter is taken captive as a German POW. To bide the time, he studies a nest of redstarts at the edge of camp. Some prisoners plot escape; some are shot. And then, one day, James is called to the Kommandantâs office.
Meanwhile, back home, Jamesâs new wife, Rose, is on her own, free in a way she has never known. Then, Jamesâs sister, Enid, loses everything during the Blitz and must seek shelter with Rose. In a cottage near Ashdown forest, the two women jealously guard secrets, but form a surprising friendship. Each of these characters will find unexpected freedom amid warâs privations and discover confinements that come with peace. The Evening Chorus is a beautiful, astonishing examination of love, loss, escape, and the ways in which the intrusions of the natural world can save us.
âThe Evening Chorus sparkles.â âJo Baker
âA poised, lyrical novel about the griefs of war, written with poetic intensity of observation.â âHelen Dunmore
âThis riveting novel is a song. Listen.â âRichard Bausch
