Devotion

After Howard Norman's brillantly crafted trilogy of novels (Haunting of L, Museum Guard, and Bird Artist) the writer has earned a well-deserved reputation in honoring his Canadian homeland and shedding often heartbreaking insights on ornithology and the natural world. "Devotion" returns to these subjects following the lives of David Kozol and his wife Maggie, as struggle with life after love at first sight. Reereating to Nova Scotian estate of Maggie's father, the couple will examine the facets of their romance, love, and their hatred for each other amidst the elegant and eternally paired flock of swans that inhabit the estate in a unsentimental novel of marriage and family.
