Artist Elizabeth could have spent her life capturing the sublime beauty of birds the world had never seen before. But her legacy was shadowed by the fame of her husband, John Gould. “The Birdman’s Wife” at last gives voice to a passionate and adventurous spirit, who was so much more than the woman behind the man.
The story is written in 25 chapters, each featuring a particular bird. A special chapter features Charles Darwin and his finches. A very easy book to read. It follows the lives of the characters and the many expeditions they had, especially in Australia.
5/5 Stars
