Hello, everyone. Sorry for the delay I have been extremely busy with odds and ends in my world and adjusting to new changes, which leads to our book review today.
Today we are looking at the book The Nature of Small Birds by Susie Finkbeiner. This the story of Minh Matthews. Adopted from Vietnam as a young girl to an all American family, the adjustment and acceptance took many year. We see the story through three different perspectives and also different decades -Bruce, the father, is modern day; Sonny-the sister, is teenage/high school years, Linda, the mother, the elementary years. We see how Minh grows and how her family changes as time goes by. We discover things that mold Minh into who she becomes, and we learn that she has always grieved the differences she possesses and the family she left behind in Vietnam.
The novel was wonderful and I couldn’t put down the book, because I was yearning for more answers and more of the story. However, there were quite a few questions that were never answered. There were struggles and issues I wanted to know more about. The book even left a slight cliffhanger, too. Although I enjoyed the book, I felt disappointed and curious about the parts that the reader didn’t get to learn about. Nevertheless, I want you to read the book for yourself and let me know what you thought in the comments below.
I want to thank Revell publishing and the author for giving me the opportunity to read this wonderful story about adoption. It was a fantastic book and made you realize that family is truly where the heart is and with the people that care about you, even if you aren’t related. This book was very different from others I have recently read. I hope that you enjoy this book, as much as I have.
Have a wonderful day and I hope that you enjoyed hearing a little bit about this book!
