THE EPIC OF THE PARROT (Paperback)

Customer Review

Moving, funny, tender, pleasant, baffling, powerful, funny ...
I completely let myself carried away by this book! I read it in one sitting, I finished at night, unable to bring myself to let go ...

From the beginning of the book we are given color: Maeve girl 25 years just graduated, has just been fired and his parents cut off his supplies.
Maeve, Oliver accompanied by his faithful parrot, will decide to join an old friend found on Facebook in order to live the great adventure in LA. To do this it will go through all the small towns of the country with atypical name: Why, it, thombstone etc ... The journey will not be done safely above his faithful car Elsie eventually fail at Coin Perdu ( yes, yes it is the name of the city!) in Arizona.

There one will discover a city, senior inhabitants in all colors. We learn to know this place with Maeve who will have to find a job to pay for repairs to his old Elsie. It will focus on its people, but above Maeve will be able to land and confront his own demons.

The story is beautiful and touching. The second half of the book reveals rich revelations.

Maeve has a nice spread, which made me laugh! It will prove to be a girl of great strength and very engaging.

I strongly recommend this book a gem of freshness but also of courage and strength =)
