Review : The Birdman's Wife by Melissa Ashley and The Atomic Weight of Love by Elizabeth J. Church, Dorothy Johnston , single work review
— Review of The Birdman's Wife Melissa Ashley , 2016 single work novel ;
'The first point I noted about The Birdman's Wife is that Elizabeth Gould, not her husband John, the famous ornithologist, painted the pictures of birds I knew and loved as a child. While Elizabeth was credited by her initials, alongside John's, for creating over 650 hand-coloured lithographs for a number of publications, including The Birds of Australia, very little is known about the artist; she was overshadowed by her larger-than-life husband. Melissa Ashley's task, as she says in an author's note, is to bring to life, through fiction, what the factual accounts have overlooked. ...'
