In a mountain town where feathers are ruffled and secrets scattered, five friends calling themselves The Café Birds must confront betrayal, grief, and the risky hope of new love.
Join businesswoman Paige, pragmatic Nita, flirtatious Grace, blunt Megan, and quiet Caitlin as they gather for their ritual of coffee, bird talk, and sharing of life events. But when their fragile bond is put to the test by a series of crises, including a husband's battlefield traumas and emotional detachment, affairs that tear through marriages like wind through reeds, and more than one shocking secret, who among the 'flock' will fly and who will fall?
This novel is a powerful exploration of friendship, loyalty, and the messy beauty of second chances. With a mix of witty banter and relatable Aussie characters, The Café Birds is a must-read for fans of Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout, or The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs.
As reviewer KM Lance says, 'This novel presents a slice of life. The characters in the book are truly human. Readers will laugh, cry, and hope that they too can become members of The Café Birds.'
