Little Gems Book Discussion - A Guide to the Birds of East Africa by Nicholas Drayson In-Person
In this "little gem" of fiction, a widower is secretly in love with a woman who leads bird walks sponsored by the East African Ornithological Society. The quiet, unassuming man is on the verge of asking her to a special dance, when his nemesis from school days appears, and becomes interested in the same woman. Thus begins a bird watching competition in which the gentleman who can identify the most birds in one week will ask the lady to the dance.
This tender novel offers atmospheric descriptions of the Kenyan landscape, undercurrents of politics, endearing characters, and light humor.
