Bird Cottage

Others – like Eva Meijer’s Bird Cottage – weave their way into your heart quietly and subtly, delivering an unpretentious story that charms with its simplicity. The book is hybrid, consisting of small chapters imagining Howard’s relationship with her favorite Great Tit, Star, and longer chapters detailing her own development. It is a story of an incredible woman who pursues her two biggest passions, playing violin and observing birds.
