Say Again

By LPH98.lifestyle

The last fluent speaker of her family's private language is a foul-tempered parrot.

Fen's emigrating parents closed the family's invented language before she could remember it. Now she inherits her grandmother's sixty-year-old African grey - a bird that erupts, unprompted and at catastrophically chosen moments, in words Fen was never taught. Funerals. First dates. Quiet kitchens. The parrot has been trying to tell her something all along, in the only tongue left that still knows her oldest name.

A comic-tender novel of inheritance, grief, and the language that refuses to die when its speakers are gone.

For readers of literary fiction with humor, animal companions who won't shut up, and almost-lost words.
