genre: historical fiction/mystery/crime
This novel, told in two time periods, has at its heart a hobby and an obsession that I have maybe never thought about before: egg collecting. There is a crime committed against a young man and his mother with tentacles that reach back over a hundred years, to a young girl, a tall Yorkshire cliff, and one extraordinary bird. I almost don't want to explain more, because I loved my journey in this story where greed can manipulate the desperate and where neurospicy characters who look at the world through a unique lens can be the ones to figure out the missing pieces. While part of it is upsetting (especially as a bird lover), I'm still thinking about this one, the world it introduced me to and a cliff full of wonders.
