Why read it?
1 author picked Bird's Eye View as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The descriptions of interpreting aerial reconnaissance photos during the Second World War were interesting.

The heroine—and the book does have a streak of chick lit about it—sounded like the real people I met while working as a reporter in Saskatchewan during the mid-1970s. Her hometown was recognizable, too. I keep hoping some of the spirit of these places and their people will survive well into the 2000s.
From Mark's list on novels depicting regions of Canada.
