I did not enjoy this book. Because it’s speculative fiction, it’s meaning is very much up for interpretation, however I interpreted Chouette as being a metaphor for raising a disabled child and I did not like the way the author chose to depict that. Kids with disabilities are not the same as violent owl babies and deserve a more accurate representation in literature that does not animalize them. I would love to hear other’s interpretations but this is not a book I would be recommending any time soon. I gave it three star because it was well written but and captivating but I did not like the overall content.
