About this audiobook
Within the walls of a cluttered studio, a family survives by clinging to a delicate web of lies and a crippled bird. When an idealist arrives determined to speak the truth at any cost, he inadvertently triggers a catastrophic chain of events. This masterful tragicomedy questions whether happiness is possible without the protection of a "life-lie." It is a devastatingly clever look at the unintended damage caused by self-righteous virtue.
