How to Make a Bird
Paperback
(Allen & Unwin Aug. 16, 2003)
I m not a bad person. I ve simply come out of left field. I m a stray and, anyway, whatever I am, I m not it yet. I m still becoming. In fact, I d always believed that I was once a horse, because I loved to run down a hill. And Eddie was a fish. He was a swaggerer, if you know what I mean. Flimsy but loveable. Mannie is searching for the thing she doesn t yet know, but it s like a runaway kite pulling her heart forward. So she s leaving home. She s heading for the city with nothing but a long red dress, a strong hunch, and an unknown address in her pocket. As the day turns to night, Mannie makes a lot of discoveries and not exactly the ones she planned to make. With rare sensitivity, wisdom and humour, and a voice that's entirely her own, Martine Murray tells a bittersweet story about longing and losing and finding again.
