A Warbler’s Journey
Scott Weidensaul
If tragedy is the excavator (挖掘机) of beauty, the era of our pandemic shutdown showed that. Bird songs rose when noise levels from traffic, airplanes and even barking dogs nosedived. Bird-watching boomed. The world stopped, and birds and people noticed each other. A new book with brilliant illustrations by Nancy Lane, is an epic story of tough migration of a warbler (莺) told through the eyes of two little girls. The story of its adventure is smart, beautiful and a reminder of what’s possible when we notice what we have in common with a tiny bird.
A Lady for a Duke
Alexis Hall
Alexis Hall delivered the romantic comedy of this summer. In the book, friends long thought lost are found and slowly become lovers. Viola Carroll, a veteran (老兵) of the Napoleonic wars, was long assumed dead. Injured on the battlefield, she gave up her family, wealth and title to live as her true self. Then she returns to public life after years of absence and finds love with her sorrow-stricken best friend who’s still mourning her.
The Memory Librarian
Janelle Monáe
While working her day job as a pop star, Janelle Monáe has written plenty of music with science-fiction topics—most recently on her 2018 album Dirty Computer. But seeing as how Monáe tells tales in just about every medium she can get her hands on, including film, it was inescapable that she’d turn to the literary form one day as well. The book is a collection of short stories that pick up the loose threads of Dirty Computer’s. It serves readers tales grounded in the human trials of identity expression, technology, and love, but also reaching through to the worlds of memory and time within.
