Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey is brilliant and surprising at every turn."—Rebecca Makkai, Pulitzer finalist for The Great Believers A heart-tugging and gorgeously written novel based on the incredible true story of a WWI messenger pigeon and the soldiers whose lives she forever altered, from the author of Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk . From the green countryside of England and the gray canyons of Wall Street come two unlikely heroes: one a pigeon and the other a soldier. Answering the call to serve in the war to end all wars, neither Cher Ami, the messenger bird, nor Charles Whittlesey, the army officer, can anticipate how their lives will briefly intersect in a chaotic battle in the forests of France, where their wills will be tested, their fates will be shaped, and their lives will emerge forever altered. A saga of hope and duty, love and endurance, as well as the claustrophobia of fame, Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey is a tragic yet life -affirming war story that the world has never heard. Inspired by true events of World War I, Kathleen Rooney resurrects two long-forgotten yet unforgettable figures, recounting their tale in a pair of voices that will change the way readers look at animals, freedom, and even history itself. 538 Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 315944 KB). 650 7 Historical Fiction.|2OverDrive 650 7 Literature.|2OverDrive 650 17 Fiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic audiobooks.|2local 700 1 Canfield, Juliana. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/5242415 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=551b8a96- 7349-4e57-9be0-21bc5ee3cd45&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/ %7B551B8A96-7349-4E57-9BE0-21BC5EE3CD45%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/ %7B551B8A96-7349-4E57-9BE0-21BC5EE3CD45%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
