Her grandmother is a parakeet. She says not to get married. She says: Go and find your brother. In the days that follow, the bride's march to the altar becomes a wild and increasingly fragmented, unstable journey that bends toward the surreal and forces her to confront matters long buried. A novel that does justice to the hectic confusion of becoming a woman today, Parakeet asks and begins to answer the essential questions. What do our memories make us? How do we honor our experiences and still become our strongest, truest selves? Who are we responsible for, what do we owe them, and how do we allow them to change?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Grandmothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grandparent and child $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Parrots $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immortalism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization in women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Weddings $x Planning $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dysfunctional families $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Grands-meÌres $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Grands-parents et enfants $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Immortalisme $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Noces $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $x Planification $0 (CaQQLa)201-0379726 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Familles inadapteÌes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Magical Realism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Weddings $x Planning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01173334 650 7 $a Self-realization in women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111914 650 7 $a Parrots. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053920 650 7 $a Immortalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967851 650 7 $a Grandparent and child. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00946360 650 7 $a Dysfunctional families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728523 650 7 $a Grandmothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00946353 650 7 $a Self-consciousness (Awareness) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01732884 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921727 655 7 $a Magic realist fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922459 655 7 $a Black humor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726518 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Magic realist fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Black humor. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Humour noir. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000311 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20230526151528.0 $n 1 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C2F03C26D6AC11EC8A976CB5253FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
