The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows is a book not easily described. Yes, as the title suggests, it is about Ava Lavender and her odd, often woeful life. But it's also about her entire family and the history of them and the house they live in/5(). Henry is mute for much of his young life and Ava in all other ways a normal girl is born with the wings of a bird. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava delves into her family’s past and ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naïve to the twisted motives of others. “The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender” is not a typical love story. Walton’s tale, by turns tragic and comic, expects readers to explore the big questions love raises — why do we love the people we love, and why do we hold on to love that hurts?Cited by: 1.
