Fledgling Song traces the
thought life and wanderings of Claire Sivert, a young Canadian woman
living and studying biology in France. Caught between the wilderness
landscapes of her native Manitoba and the winter-gray cityscapes of
Paris, she struggles to find a firm footing. Besides yearning for a
sense of place, she is also caught between two eras of her life.
Painfully vivid memories from her childhood and tentative hopes
rooted in the present intermingle as she moves through her days and
records her musings in her faithful journal. Full of wonder and yet
delicately unsure of herself, Claire learns through several
encounters with new friends how to be bold and face her past and
present, however imperfect.
A perfect end-of-summer read!
Just completed reading it--in my garden, accompanied by birdsong, appropriately enough.
