Lezersrecensie
Schitterend, mooi taalgebruik
Mooi boek voor 8+
Met 104 pagina's is het een novelle. Wel één die vlot wegleest. De boeken van Katya Balen zijn prachtig, haar taalgebruik is rijk en mooi. Het verbaast mij dat er nog geen NL uitgever het aandurft om haar boeken te vertalen.
In Birdsong, Annie is slowly recovering from a terrible car crash which has left her with damage to her hand that prevents her from playing her beloved flute. Without access to her natural solace of making music Annie retreats into a silent and all-consuming rage against everything that has caused this to happen, including her mother. Furiously exploring the scruffy scrubland outside her new flat Annie meets Noah who introduces her to the blackbirds’ nest he is protecting.
Gradually Annie begins to take an interest and the blackbirds’ wonderful song reignites her love of music and enables her to express herself through it once more. Katya Balen’s careful and sparing use of words and her eloquent expressions makes this a beautiful as well as a moving book to read.

Deze thriller trekt je razendsnel mee in een complot met onbetrouwbare staatslieden met hun eigen agenda's, internationale conflicten en hoogoplopende bedreigingen voor de samenleving.
