Holton’s writing is sharp, owlishly witty, intelligent, and provokes gut-giggles with her creation of bird-brained capers that she injects with outrageous hyperboles, misappropriations, and well-placed understatements. She weaves our chirping, warbling lovers in an flashy courtship dance like no other, hits on all the feminist issues of the mid-1800s, and as we fly through twists and turns in raucous encounters with madcap hilarity, she brings us to the flapping end of a flitting flight in superb satisfaction!
