First thankyou treetops for the selection. I have just finished reading Snow Geese. This book was a road trip of a very different sort. By following the geese, the authors journey is already set in a pattern he cannot change and either has to wait for them to move on or wait for them to arrive. The people he (WF) meets along the way are diverse and interesting but also just ordinary folks. All with a tale to tell, which I also enjoyed. His style of writing is gentle, very descriptive and intuitive. His memories of having the Snow Goose read to him at school stirred forgotten memories for me. When I was at school I had a different view of The Snow Goose, than I think i would have now. So I think I will read it again.
I read this book starting with the idea that it was going to be a twitchers journey - but it was more than that, I was very wrong.
