A brother’s death, and the questions it leaves behind

Set during the pandemic, *Catbirds* begins with Randy Green learning that his brother Adam has been found dead at a New England marina far from home. With little help from police or family, Randy tries to reconstruct what happened while facing the immediate task of composing a eulogy. The search for answers and the effort to speak about a difficult sibling meet in a story that brings mystery together with grief, healing, family fracture, and a divided country.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in mysteries rooted in family relationships and loss.
  • Those drawn to fiction about grief, healing, and the work of remembering a complicated sibling.
  • Readers seeking a pandemic-era story set between distant locations in the United States.

Book overview

It's the height of the pandemic when Randy Green learns that his brother Adam has been found dead in a deserted New England marina, three thousand miles away. With little interest or help from the police or other family members, he sets out to piece together what really happened to his complicated, difficult brother-and why.

 

Unfolding in bursts of incantatory prose as Randy struggles to compose a suitable eulogy for his brother at the last possible moment, Catbirds is a mystery, a meditation on grief and healing, and a portrait of a riven family in a riven land.
