This book spend the life a woman named Meridian from her years of college through her late 80's. It covers her love of birds, her want to be an ornithologist, her marriage to man who helped create the atomic bomb, her years of depression as a woman who want aloud to fulfill her dreams, a love affair, her freedom, and all the mental hardships she represents in woman of this time period. I cried out of love of the characters, her pain in her feeling of being smothered from living her dreams and the realities of grief. Great book.

I was drawn to this book because of its beautiful cover, the subject matter including physics and ornithology, and its publisher, Algonquin Books. It's a lovely read. Favorite parts - the chapter headings (collective bird nouns), the mention of Richard Feynman, and the inclusion of a crow funeral. Read and enjoy!
