This is a truly lovely book about Mozart's starling, the author's starling, starlings in general, birds, birdsong, music, and more. I happened, by chance, upon a YouTube video of the author giving a Yale University-sponsored talk (it was a filmed Zoom talk), which I watched just as I was finishing the book. It wasn't necessary but it did bring some of it to life, particulary, Carmen, the starling who stole the show.
Just a bit unfocused, it felt like.
Haupt is an exceptionally good writer/stylist. Oddly, she chose her topic bec. her editor essentially asked her to take it on.
The book is of interest to anyone who is aware that we only observe a narrow slice of our daily lives.

Nature is a beautiful part of our lives; we can do so much more to learn about it/save it/preserve it; we are interconnected with nature but have lost that connectedness and should try to get it back; go barefoot, be still, explore. Illustrate beautifully and be done. I just thought it was over-explained.
All that being said, I have many friends who will/would LOVE this book and connect with it in a deep way, so go on you, read away…you know who you are!… (lisätietoja)
