Kathie Giorgio (author)
2.18.27 (release date)
Audrey thinks it’s all over. She and her husband, Frank, survived the pandemic without even a sniffle. But when Covid is no longer in the news, Frank begins to cough. Two weeks later, Covid takes him. Audrey struggles through telling their iguana, Newt, and their six parakeets.
But grief does not arrive alone. As Audrey struggles through the bewildering early days of loss, her friend Annabel faces an unplanned pregnancy in the immediate aftermath of Roe v. Wade’s reversal, and they are forced to reckon with the fragile structures that hold a life together.
Frank also thinks it’s all over, until he wakes up, sitting in a forest of parakeets. An older man introduces himself as God. Then he reunites Frank with four of his original birds. Convinced God must have made a mistake, Frank argues with God about Free Will Vs. God’s Great Plan.
Audrey, Frank, and Annabel find themselves up against societal norms and beliefs, rules and regulations, and their own wants and needs. And what about the iguana? And the birds?
Tender, funny, angry, and deeply humane, Unique in All the World is a novel about marriage, mourning, female friendship, and the stubborn ways love keeps trying to stay alive.
