A discussion with Avril Swanson about my book, The Night Birds
Manage episode 240997170 series 2111406
Today, I had the opportunity to sit with Avril Swanson, to talk about my book, The Night Birds. Avril is my mother, and she is portrayed as a character in the book. It was interesting to talk to her about her view on the story and her unique perspective, as a woman and as my mother.
The Night Birds is a story about finding balance. Syden is a young girl who suffers from migraines and through her pain management, she cannot decipher what is real and what is not. When her father suddenly dies, nothing in her life seems logical and when she decides to leave her home town, figuring out life on her own, seems impossible because she is slowly going insane.
But what if you don’t know you were sick? How does one measure illness against the rest of society?
With many twists and turns, emotional ups and downs, The Night Birds takes you on a deeply emotional journey. Avril, my mother, opens up about her own experiences and we talk about how our relationship is portrayed in this novel, reflecting on our friendship now. I am deeply appreciative of my mother taking the time to chat with me, for her acceptance of my artistic expression of our past, and a willingness to move forward with me, with love and acceptance.
