When I decided to open The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender I wasn’t sure what to expect since I had yet to read the summary of the book. This book was strange but interesting all the same. That night, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air, and Ava’s quest and her family’s saga build to a devastating crescendo.įirst-time author Leslye Walton has constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology of what it means to be born with hearts that are tragically, exquisitely human. Others like the pious Nathaniel Sorrows, who mistakes Ava for an angel and whose obsession with her grows until the night of the Summer Solstice celebration. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naïve to the twisted motives of others. Ava-in all other ways a normal girl-is born with the wings of a bird. Magical realism, lyrical prose, and the pain and passion of human love haunt this hypnotic generational saga.įoolish love appears to be the Roux family birthright, an ominous forecast for its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender.
