They say never judge a book by it's cover, and we really shouldn't, but when the book has a cover like Odd Birds? Well, do you blame me for wanting to pick it up?
Odd Birds is a detailed and atmospheric story set in the early 1960s about our protagonist, Cosimo and his losses and travels, along to the land of San Antonio, Texas. It's been a long time since I've been to San Antonio myself, but I could picture it with the lovely details by the author, Severo Perez.
Along with the detailed description of "place", we also have fantastic descriptions of the characters. Each with their own very particular personalities and quirks.
Odd Birds is a dual focused story focused on the Cuban-born artist Cosimo and his travels in having followed his love to Texas and its partner story of those who work at the local library. Namely, that of the assistants, Richard, Maddie, and Oscar, and their navigation of each day to day. A great juxtaposition to these three within the library is that of the character of Ruthann, the librarian who definitely has a hard time with the integration and change going on in the library.
What I truly found within the pages of Odd Birds was the realization that all things change, as much as we mourn the losses, and all the bittersweetness that comes with it. I recommend this book to all open to reading about the pain and love that can come with change.
