Winter Birds

Winter Birds

Jim Grimsley
3.9/5 ( ratings)
On a snowy Thanksgiving day in North Carolina, a dreamy eight-year-old is pushed headlong into the adult world by a violent quarrel between his parents.

Eight-year-old southerner Danny Crell recounts his premature entry into manhood, precipitated by a violent quarrel between his father, an abusive drunk, and his mother, whose emotional detachment is nearly as frightening.

Jim Grimsley's brilliant first novel unfolds in a strikingly unconventional way - as the boy tells himself his own story. A shattering story of heartbreak, violence, and the endurance of the spirit. "Tell everyone."
-Dorothy Allison, author of Bastard out of Carolina
