Birds of America

Viac o knihe

An absorbing novel about a young man's voyage into adulthood, enlivened by Mary McCarthy's needling wit. You have to go away to understand home, you have to lose yourself to find yourself; Mary McCarthy's insight into her young hero - his awkward growing-up, his efforts to understand his time and place - create an authentic and thoughtful slice of cultural history. Hilary Mantel, Booker prize-winning author of 'Wolf Hall' and 'Bring Up the Bodies'
