A Bird in the House by Margaret Laurence
4.0
4 STARS
"A Bird in the House is a series of eight interconnected short stories narrated by Vanessa MacLeod as she matures from a child at age ten into a young woman at age twenty. Wise for her years, Vanessa reveals much about the adult world in which she lives." (From Amazon)
brilliant collection of short stories about one family set in the town of Manawaka. I first read this in Junior High School and enjoyed it but in reading in context as a "series" I appreciated it even more.
