The Soul Bird

From time to time customers come in to the shop and request certain titles, and we do our best to get them. Often it is not because the customer wants them but because they just want to recommend something they have enjoyed reading. I think that says something about our customers - something good of course! - and maybe about Bookaburra, because they feel we are open to suggestions and we are still small and personal enough to be able to take action on what they suggest.

One of these books is The Soul Bird, a little gem of a book that has become an international best-seller. Written by an Israeli, Michal Snunit, as an antidote to the loneliness she felt when growing up, the book is one of those timeless classics which strikes a chord with anyone who reads it, irrespective of their religious background. As the review in the catalogue says, "It is a book to keep forever, and to give to those you love."
