THE AUDUBON AFFAIR

Marlene Hauser

On the 12th of October 1820, a woman waves her husband off, onto the wild Mississippi River. Has she done the right thing? The coffers are empty. She is destitute. Earning a living is as bizarre as trees walking. Neither knows this simple act will begin a journey that turns one day into ten years. The Audubon Affair is inspired by the wife of a famous naturalist, a woman all but forgotten, but who was the lightning rod in making one of the world's greatest treasures: The Birds of America.
