A wealthy collector, with intentions more venal than scientific, wants to find the mysterious Ulieta bird, a unique specimen of an extinct species brought back in 1775 from the South Seas by Captain Cook and given to the famous naturalist Joseph Banks. To conduct the search, he turns to an undisputed specialist in extinct avian species. Martin Davies weaves a fascinating story that intertwines two narratives: the passionate adventure of Joseph Banks with an enigmatic woman in Madeira and the singular race, two hundred and thirty years later, to find the lost bird. This intriguing novel stands out for its ability to alternate between two universes and narrative styles, offering an engaging and original read.
