Chronicling the lives of a group of London friends--all of whom consider themselves failures--and the simultaneous lives of a group of London pigeons, this novel by a Whitbread winner mingles the lives of birds and people as they confront the stark facts of modern urban existence. A portion of the book is narrated by one of the pigeons, named Ravenscourt, who speaks in pigeon dialect. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
