A review by bookbird_bsky
Magpie by Elizabeth Day

emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No

3.0

Magpie by Elizabeth Day reads like two novels zipped carefully into a larger one. The middle could have done with a bit more trimming, but overall, it works very well.
I think it reads best if you don’t know anything about it. 
Just, if it pregnancy creeps you out, maybe this is not for you.
