A Bird's Eye View

Marcela Serrano

NARRATIVE, 2024. PRH. 464 PÁGINAS

The coming and going of birds, the joys and sorrows of life at seventy, a romantic break-up, conversations with her sisters during lockdown, societal changes in a country and world on fire, friends passing away, a rewarding relationship with her grandson, the interactions between the dogs at her house in the country and the revelation of reading the classics...

For three years, Marcela Serrano faithfully kept a handwritten diary. Full of fragility and enjoyment, her observations of the life and world around her show that real life can be just as adventurous as fiction. She assigned a theme to each year: everyday pleasures for the first, amazement for the second and sunlight for the third, making As the Bird Flies a new departure for her writing, documenting the experiences of a mature woman who has maintained her enthusiasm and curiosity about her place in the world.
