Product Description
Product Description
Niall, a zoologist, goes to Northern Ireland under the pretext of studying magpies. What he's studying, in fact, is the science of free will, the genetics of fate and destiny. But as he roams the seashore, he becomes increasingly troubled by familiar faces and half-remembered events.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Riveting and, ultimately, thrilling.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Angel Bird (Paperback)
A truly enthralling book--I couldn't put it down. O'Connell evokes a terrible beauty in the natural world that her main protagonist seeks to document--and in another world of dreams and memory that he can't understand completely. Highly recommended!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Men should read this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Angel Bird (Paperback)
An enjoyable book which gives insight into the lives of magpies! It explores a period in the life of a fickle young man through his awakening to a sense of self, and how he relates to women. A thought provoking read.
