Perhaps grief is the price that must be paid for the privilege of love and kinship…
The sign of a good book is if it has the ability to remove you from your current place and time, and transport you into someone else’s world. Author Anne Sweazy-Kulju’s ability to transport the reader into a different era and place has the potential to transform you. Her characters are not your average beings with commonplace traits and thoughts. They are dark, they are broken, but most of all they are unapologetically human. the thing with feathers, Sweazy-Kulju’s debut novel, is a dark and seething tale of love and the daring spirit.
Blair is just sixteen years old and pregnant. Her father is the town’s fire-and-brimstone preacher, and he is brutal. This little girl needs a hero, just as one providentially happens by. But as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. In the spirit of “Chinatown”, this story is tactile and edgy, as real life can be; and real life isn’t always pretty. Blair weathers the loss of one battle after another with the preacher, but will she win the most important fight—and at what cost?
the thing with feathers is a very well written saga. The subject matter is very dark and not for someone who prefers fairy tales and hollow love stories. The love between Sean and Blair is the very humanistic kind. It is raw and flawed. But that is what makes it memorable. {Contemporary Books.com}
