I read The Yellow Birds when it first came out last September. This novel has just come out in paperback and I am going to be rereading it this month. I don’t reread books very often, only the very best, and this book is getting it’s second reading faster than any book I’ve ever read. Kevin Powers’ debut novel is not the typical good book, it’s a stunningly beautiful book full of love and horror – the prose is simply a work of high art. Powers has stunned and challenged me with his ability. If you haven’t read this book, whether you’ve been awaiting its paperback version or by some miracle have not heard of it, come by Lemuria today and get your next i’ve-got-to-read-this-book-again book.
