520    Jim Kennoway was once an esteemed member of the 
       ornithology department at the Museum of Natural History in
       New York, collecting and skinning birds as specimens. 
       Slowing down from a hard-lived life and a recent leg 
       amputation, Jim retreats to an island in Maine: to drink, 
       smoke, and to be left alone. As a young man he worked for 
       Naval Intelligence during World War II in the Solomon 
       Islands. While spying on Japanese shipping from behind 
       enemy lines, Jim befriended Tosca, a young islander who 
       worked with him as a scout. Now, thirty years later, Tosca
       has sent his daughter Cadillac to stay with Jim in the 
       weeks before she begins premedical studies at Yale. She 
       arrives to Jim's consternation, yet she will capture his 
       heart and the hearts of everyone she meets, irrevocably 
       changing their lives. Written in lush, lyrical prose'rich 
       in island detail, redolent of Maine in summer and of the 
       Pacific'The Bird Skinner is wise and wrenching, an 
       unforgettable masterwork from an extraordinarily skillful 
       novelist. 
520    Forced to abandon his ornithology work after being wounded
       in combat, World War II veteran Jim Carroway secludes 
       himself on a tiny island off the coast of Maine, where an 
       old friend's captivating daughter draws him out of 
       isolation during the month before she starts college.
