Customer Reviews

a realistic look at the days of a prosperous family

The Birds were wealthy and religious and intelligent. They were aware of the larger issues and they were appealing persons. There is sadness in the book's depiction of everyone's losses, including the slaves'. Works well as a much more readable companion piece to the massive book, The Children of Pride.
