Avis Muir is an excellent pastry chef, Brian Muir a corporate real estate attorney at law. Their boy, Stanley, is the proprietor of an trendy food market. Their beautiful daughter, Felice, is lacking. A runaway at 13, Felice has put in five years modeling tats, skateboarding, clubbing, and sleeping in a squat house or on the beach. She's going to transform 18. Soon all of the Muirs will be forced to confront their anguish, reduction, and sense of betrayal. And Felice must reckon with the guilty top secret that drove her away, then face her fear of losing her family and her sense of self forever.Set resistant to the vivid backdrop of modern Miami, Birds of Heaven is filled up with piercing insights in to the politics of food and sugars, young culture, and of the ebb and stream of matrimony. The writing is sumptuous, the story moving, and the explanations of food (one of Abu-Jaber's specialties) are mouth-watering.
