‘Crow Talk’ book party April 29

Music by Lady Eight — of which Garvin is a member — will begin at 6:30 p.m. Garvin will discuss the book at 7:30 p.m., which will be followed by a book signing and music by Red Robe Revival.

Garvin’s debut novel, “The Music of Bees,” was released in 2021 and “swept readers away to Oregon’s Hood River Valley and offered a much-needed escape after a year of isolation,” said a press release. It became a national bestseller. “Crow Talk” was released last spring.

About the book

“Crow Talk” centers on two women and a lonely little boy, who have all retreated to a remote alpine lake in the woods of Washington State, seeking solace. First, there’s Frankie O’Neill, a promising young ornithologist (an expert on birds), who is still reeling from a rift with her mentor. Just down the bay is Anne Ryan, a talented Irish musician who is grappling with the sudden muteness of her only child and the conflict it has brought to her marriage. And finally, there’s Anne’s son, Aiden, a curious 5-year-old who’s retreated into silence for reasons only he understands. A chance encounter with an injured baby crow brings this trio together and an unlikely friendship blooms, allowing all three to forge a path towards healing, rediscovery, and joy.
