'A pacy confection of history, mystery and romance.' The Times
Despite being the leading expert in his field, Fitz has never really fulfilled his potential, never written the great book on extinct species that everyone expected from him when he was setting out.
Suddenly a figure from those days reappears in his life. The beautiful Gaby wants him to help find something that vanished over two hundred years ago from the collection of the pioneering naturalist Joseph Banks: a speciment known as The Mysterious Bird of Ulieta.
Unsure of the reasons behind this quest, but spurred on join it by his beguiling lodger Katya, Fitz soon finds that the only way to solve the puzzle of the missing bird is to unravel the mystery of Banks's passionate affair with a young woman - Miss B. - who has disappeared from history as effectively as the creature he is hunting.
It is the story of her life - poignant, courageous, shocking - and of her relationship with Banks, which twines around the enigma of Fitz to produce a wonderful double-helix of secrets and surprises.
Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library. Since audiobooks are portable and in music file format such as Mp3 or WMA the space that’s really being used up is your hard drive which takes up a minuscule amount in comparison. So for the busy individual where free time is somewhat of a luxury, audio books may just be the solution you have been looking for, a way to combine free time and work effortlessly. |
