The Warbler

book club fiction with a speculative edge
by Sarah Beth Durst
coming March 2025 from Lake Union Publishing


From New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst comes a magical tale about mothers and daughters, choices and consequences, and the real meaning of home when every place feels like a cage.

Ten months. That's the longest Elisa has stayed anyplace, constantly propelled by her fear that if she puts down roots, a family curse will turn her into a tree.

But she's grown tired of flitting from town to town and in and out of relationships. When she discovers a small town in Massachusetts where mysterious forces make it impossible for the residents to leave, she hopes she can change her fate.

As Elisa learns about the town's history, she understands more about the women in her family, who seem doomed to never get what they want. Now she believes she's stuck, too -- is that a patch of bark on her arm? But her neighbor's collection of pet birds sings secrets that Elisa can almost understand -- secrets she must unravel in order to be truly alive.
