About
One chilly April morning a stranger shows up at a commune in the Catskill Mountains, upstate New York. Conor is greeted by Liv, sixty-seven years old, mother, cancer survivor and founder of the once pilgrimage-worthy Birdeye Colony, now well past its heyday. Liv lets him stay, unaware that her two oldest friends are about to make a devastating announcement. Conor seems to offer a lifeline, but who is he really? As truths masked by free spirit push their way into the open, Liv must reassess what she asks of those she loves most.
Birdeye is a novel about tolerance, the choices we make in good faith, and, ultimately, what they cost.

Reviews
"(on previous work) A captivating story about foreigners in Ukraine in the 1990s. In Snegurochka grand historical and political narratives - of Ukraine's newfound independence, of the Second World War - interweave with the very personal stories of the book's female protagonists - Rachel, Zoya, and Elena."
The Moscow Times
"(on previous work) It's a very interesting and clever read. With no narrative tricksiness it shows us the author's knowledge of that time and place, and more importantly a wonderful character, one who struggles with her new-found family and her new-found sense of displacement. Rich and readable, this is well worth turning to."
NB Magazine
"(on previous work) An unnerving and enthralling novel set in newly independent Ukraine, Snegurochka is a captivating story of motherhood, betrayal, belonging and control."
