In The Birthday Books, award-winning writer Joanna Lilley writes with an ear for restrained emotion and an eye for exquisite imagery. Lilley displays a breathtaking ability for allowing her readers the space to move inside her characters’ minds and we are reminded that we all must choose between longing and necessity as we navigate our experiences with place, love, loss and possession. The Birthday Books is both highly-accomplished and moving.
