Michèle Laframboise... writes beautifully in more than one genre, more than one form, and more than one language.
Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Fiction River, 2017
Virtue is a white robe only women get to wear…
Equipped with her Sibley Guide, explorer hat and trusty binoculars, Amanda Byrd tracks the most elusive winged species, solving some problems along the way.
Everything in this bird tour has gone awry: Lady Byrd wakes up too late because the tour guide forgot to arrange the calls. In a foul mood, she has to get to the site herself.
Then, her path crosses that of a pregnant birder stuck in the throes of an abusive relationship, and cornered into a hard choice only women faced. What can an expert birder do to lift this fog of sadness?
A spirited and hopeful story with the energetic Lady Byrd !
With either words or pictures, Michèle gently draws readers inside haunting universes inhabited by memorable characters.
