I have been directed to this – the first review I’ve seen of de Jaarlijst which has appeared on Vogeldagboek. According to Google’s handy translator, I think they like it. It’s especially pleasing to receive an endorsement from a fellow birder, which gives me the confidence that I’ve managed to convey the subtleties of the birding world. And it’s a sign too that bird watching may be the same the whole world over…

The national dutch newspaper ‘Volkskrant’ announced your book in a single paragraph review:
“Uitstekend geschreven debuut, interessant voor vogelaars, over verraad, verdenking en verantwoording.”
And yes, they liked it!
This is how google translates:
“Excellent[ly] written debut, interesting for birdwatchers, [about] betrayal, suspicion and accountability.”
(I came to your site to find the original title – I guess it was changed after the Dutch translation?)

Thank you for this! Yes the title now in English is ‘Out of a Clear Sky’ – originally it had been called The Year List.
