Aus Trauer um seine verstorbene Frau flüchtet sich Jonah in seine Fantasiewelt, bis er der Origami-Künstlerin Chloe begegnet. - "A masterful exploration of love, loss and the healing power of the natural world. Heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure" Observer LONGLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 2018 Jonah roams Kew Gardens trying to reassemble the shattered pieces of his life after the death of his wife, Audrey. Weathering the seasons and learning to love again, he meets Chloe, an enigmatic origami artist who is hesitant to let down her own walls. In the gardens he also meets ten-year-old Milly, and Harry, a gardener, both of whom have secrets of their own to keep - and mysteries to solve. - Review: A moving story as intricate and elegant as the origami birds that Chloe, one of the characters, folds. I loved this What a joy it was to read A Thousand Paper Birds, a lovely clockwork of a novel ... May it FLY! (Shelley Harris, author of Jubilee) A Thousand Paper Birds brings Kew Gardens, and the people who meet each other there, to life with vivid language (Yorkshire Post) Absolutely wonderful. It has the emotional integrity of One Day and the complexity and character depth of Cloud Atlas ... An incredible achievement (Deborah Install, author of A Robot in the Garden) Outstanding ... This book is packed with phrases and dialogue that took away my breath, and occasionally brought tears to my eyes. It is so, so intricate, so perfectly balanced. A beautiful novel that should be savoured and treasured, and will be remembered for a long time (Random Things Through My Letterbox)
