Author Chat/Book Discussion with Carrie Birde

Join the Blydyn Square Book Club as we chat with writer Carrie Birde about her debut novel, A Small Tale of Uncommon Grace.

From the back cover:

Grace has always been different—quirky and a little bit odd. Luckily for her, she lives in the Bright Wood, where the townsfolk accept and even embrace the unusual. It’s a rare kind of place where they don’t burn the witches.

But what will happen if things change? Grace finds out when she suddenly discovers that she has the ability to hear—and understand—the natural world, from the voices of the birds and wild creatures of the forest to the pets and animals on her family farm. It’s possible she can even converse with the elements themselves—the wind and the water and trees that surround her.

Thrown from her stable, routine world into a challenging unknown, Grace learns that being different can be an extraordinary, and sometimes dangerous, thing.
