The Bird in Your Heart
by Tim BryantPublish: Apr 14, 2023Literary Fiction Book Overview
The Bird in Your Heart is the quirky tale of an Atlanta advertising executive who divorces, loses his job, and returns to his family’s ancestral home on a South Carolina sea island. He plans to sail off to see the world but his mother is going blind and the old place needs huge repairs.
Described as “like a Sue Monk Kidd book and a Pat Conroy book had a baby and then THAT baby grew up and had a baby with a John Kennedy Toole book,” it’s reminiscent of
Don’t Stop the Carnival, the Herman Wouk novel Jimmy Buffet wrote songs about.
Oddball island ways, Southern traditions, and Gullah culture create a Low Country tangle
just right for beach, boat, and book club people.
