Description: One fall night, an innkeeper on a remote island in Nova Scotia watches an airplane plummet to the sea. As the search for survivors envelops the island, the mourning families gather at the inn, waiting for news of those they have lost. Here among strangers, they form an unusual community, struggling for comfort and consolation. At the center of the story is Ana Gathreaux, an ornithologist who specializes in bird migration, and whose husband perished on the flight. 2006. Adult. Some descriptions of sex. Strong language.
