'POET, fellow bird enthusiast, and academic, Melissa Ashley has a skillset that greatly animates the language, passion, and research of her debut novel, The Birdman’s Wife. Written from the perspective of the wife of celebrated ornithologist, John Gould, The Birdman’s Wife reveals a long-forgotten contributor to ornithology, Elizabeth Gould, and depicts her journey through art and science. From the moment Elizabeth meets her husband and begins her artistic career that continued right up until her death, Ashley follows Elizabeth’s progression and fills in the gaps that history has missed.'
