À propos de cet audio

Tom and Charlie are living out what's left of their lives on their own terms in a remote forest, two pot growers their only connection to the outside world. But then two women arrive - a photographer on the trail of survivors of a decades-ago forest fire and an elderly escapee from a psychiatric institution - and everything changes.

And the Birds Rained Down, the recipient of several prizes, is a haunting meditation on aging and self-determination.

Please note: The French version came before the English translation.

I loved this story, or should I say these stories within stories. Very unique and well written. The narrators were wonderful as well.

Unique tale that strikes a cord

The author John Gardner famously declared that there are only two plots in all of literature: someone goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town. In this quiet novel, two strangers, through different circumstances, arrive in the reclusive wilderness camp of three old men who have turned their back on the world. The story that ensues is one of broken people, love, and healing.

Originally written in French by Jocelyne Saucier and translated by Rhonda Mullins, the writing (and the English translation) is a thing of beauty. The tone is gentle and pulls the reader into the story. One of the men is a survivor of the great Matheson fire of 1916 and, as the plot unfolds in the present (the setting is actually mid-nineties), more and more details of his past are unearthed.

This book is a short one and definitely worth the effort. #Audible1

A poignant and tender story, written beautifully, especially as it is a translation. Had me on the edge of tears at some points. I only wish the narrators could have agreed on the pronunciation of the main character's name. ... I guessed Desneiges rather than D'unage
