My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Carrie Birde, author of the book A Small Tale of Uncommon Grace. Carrie Birde is a poet, artist, amateur photographer, and author of the debut novel, “A Small Tale of Uncommon Grace”. She reads of a wide range of genres, with particular interest in mythology, folk tales, and fairy tales. Like many of the women in those stories, she has friendships extending beyond the boundaries of species, among these several generations of Gray Catbirds, a kerfuffle of Eastern Chipmunks, a squad of Blue Jays, a singing Calico Cat, and a small, brown, Fey creature currently disguised as a dog. She lives with her husband and son in what she affectionately calls her “Boonton Bubble”.
In my book review, I stated A Small Tale of Uncommon Grace is a fantasy fairy tale by Carrie Birde. Although it is a fantasy, it read far more like a historical fiction with fantastical elements – and I loved it!
We meet Grace who is different from others, but no one knows just how different until she starts communicating with animals … and then plants … and even the wind! Rather than treat her as a witch, most people seem to adjust to her oddities until she helps a neighboring community and angers someone in the process.
The story is whimsical and causes you to think about life and the messages that might be waiting for you if you only stopped to listen for a while. It also made we think about how we treat those with differences. This was a great read!
