The Bird Catcher… by Laura Jacobs
“Margret Snow is the quintessential New York woman. She dresses the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue by day and mingles in the downtown art world by night, always searching for her niche in a city intent on capturing The Next Big Thing as it flies into view. Married to Charles, a professor at Columbia, and living on the Upper West Side, the backdrop to Margret’s life is made up of the poetic rhythms and colors of the Manhattan day.
Against this metropolitan whirl, Margret and Charles pursue a lifelong hobby of bird watching but a violent upheaval pushes Margret beyond the boundaries of her hobby. Overnight, she becomes an art world sensation and then just as suddenly has fame ripped from her.
In The Bird Catcher, her second novel, Vanity Fair Contributor Laura Jacobs tells the story of a remarkable woman who is as rare and special as the birds that fill the skies above her.”
