Praise for ONE MORNING LIKE A BIRD . A revelatory perspective on an Eastern city in the second world war ...The prose is as delicate as a Japanese print Sunday Times Not only does he combine delicious literary conceits with thought-provoking explorations into the human condition, he has the rare gift of tossing out perfect sentences that make you stop in your tracks Metro Miller's delicate prose most closely recalls the tone of emotional restraint in Kazuo Ishiguro's early novels ... deftly coheres into a typically bittersweet resolution. Independent on Sunday Deeply moving, written with loving attention to language, it felt like Pasternak back from the dead. Scotsman
Reseña del editor:
A year of bones, of grave-dirt, relentless work. Of mummified corpses and chanting priests. A year of rape, suicide, sudden death. Of friendship too. Of desire. Of love...A year unlike any other he has lived. Deep in the heart of Paris, its oldest cemetery is, by 1785, overflowing, tainting the very breath of those who live nearby. Into their midst comes Jean-Baptiste Baratte, a young, provincial engineer charged by the king with demolishing it. At first Baratte sees this as a chance to clear the burden of history, a fitting task for a modern man of reason. But before long, he begins to suspect that the destruction of the cemetery might be a prelude to his own.

Descripción First Proof Edition. Near fine copy in the original stiff-card wrappers; edges very slightly dust-dulled and toned. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Physical description; 342 pages. Notes; Includes publiesher's press release. Contents; On the cusp of the French Revolution, a young, ambitious engineer of humble origins is summoned to Versailles for a royal commission -- to clear the overflowing cemetery of Les Innocents in the heart of Paris. Convincing himself it is for the greater good and a way of clearing the burden of history, Jean-Baptiste Barratte sets about his unwelcome task. What he doesn't foresee are the dramas, violence and calamities it triggers, or that it will bring an unusual woman into his life. By the time the last bone has been removed, the transformation of Les Innocents has irrevocably changed him and his future. Subjects; Civil engineers ; Fiction. Cemeteries France Paris ; Fiction.
