thing with feathers
Ruby, Jade, and Cove fall in and out of love with each other as their world crumbles. Ruby and Cove share an inexplicable ability to change into birds. In the face of climate collapse, these three queer women find new ways to build their lives. Plus there’s a huge flock of birds. Also a midnight conversation with an owl. Part myth, part apocalyptic fairy tale, part love story, thing with feathers is about survival, transformation, and hope.
