Beschreibung

"Migrations is as beautiful and as wrenching as anything I've ever read. This is an extraordinary novel by a wildly talented writer." --Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven

For readers of Flight Behavior and Station Eleven, a novel set on the brink of catastrophe, as a young woman chases the world's last birds--and her own final chance for redemption.

Franny Stone has always been a wanderer. By following the ocean's tides and the birds that soar above, she can forget the losses that have haunted her life. But when the wild she loves begins to disappear, Franny can no longer wander without a destination. She arrives in remote Greenland with one purpose: to find the world's last flock of Arctic terns and follow them on their final migration. She convinces Ennis Malone, captain of the Saghani, to take her onboard, winning over his eccentric crew with promises that the birds she is tracking will lead them to fish.

As the Saghani fights its way south, Franny's new shipmates begin to realize that she is full of dark secrets: night terrors, an unsent pile of letters, and an obsession with pursuing the terns at any cost. When the story of her past begins to unspool, Ennis and his crew must ask themselves what Franny is really running toward--and running from.

Propelled by a narrator as fierce and fragile as the terns she is following, Migrations is both an ode to our threatened world and a breathtaking page-turner about the lengths we will go for the people we love.

utterly beautiful and devastating

“I go in search of the water. It doesn’t take me long to catch the scent, to feel the tug. There’s a compass in my heart that leads me not to true north, but to true sea.”

Quite dystopian and not exactly what I expected. In the middle I was quite fed up with all the self destruction and the lack of introspection of the protagonist but the tiny glimpses of hope and healing further down the line made it worthwhile. Plus ever present oceans and lots of swimming in cold water, wich always helps

Ich hätte das Buch gerne gemocht, aber es hat mich einfach nicht gekriegt. Ich habe letztendlich immer lieber zu etwas anderem gegriffen und breche daher ab.

Eine Erzählung über die zerbrechliche Schönheit der Natur, des Lebens und unserer Entscheidungen. So wunderbar geschrieben, dass ich am liebsten direkt noch einmal von vorne anfangen würde.

Mir schwirren so viele Gedanken nach Beenden des Buches durch den Kopf und trotzdem fällt es mir schwer die richtigen Worte zu finden, die beschreiben was "Zugvögel" in mir ausgelöst hat. Kurz gesagt: Auf eine solche Geschichte war ich nicht im Mindesten vorbereitet, als ich das Buch angefangen habe.
