The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender
Walton Leslye
Magical realism, lyrical prose, and the pain and passion of human love haunt this hypnotic generational saga.
Foolish
love appears to be the Roux family birthright, an ominous forecast for
its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender. Ava—in all other ways a normal
girl—is born with the wings of a bird.
In a quest to understand
her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers,
sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for
what she might discover and naïve to the twisted motives of others.
Others like the pious Nathaniel Sorrows, who mistakes Ava for an angel
and whose obsession with her grows until the night of the Summer
Solstice celebration.
That night, the skies open up, rain and
feathers fill the air, and Ava’s quest and her family’s saga build to a
devastating crescendo.
First-time author Leslye Walton has
constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology of what it means to be
born with hearts that are tragically, exquisitely human.
