'A gorgeously tender story about friendship and love in all its forms' (Good Housekeeping).

From the author of Dog Days, a funny, uplifting novel about three very different strangers who move into the same street and find they have more in common than they think.

'Goodbye Birdie Greenwing is one of those books that lingers... I laughed, cried and felt more compassionate for reading it. A triumph.' โ€“ Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things

'Oh, the exquisite, tender misfits in Goodbye Birdie Greenwing! I love them all. I love the way loneliness is gathered up into such a delightfully odd community.' โ€“ Catherine Newman, author of NYT bestseller, Sandwich

'A beautiful, moving, funny, gorgeous novel...this book felt like one huge hug' โ€“ 5-star reader review

Welcome to Shrublands Road, please follow the speed limit.

Meet Birdie Greenwing, determined and no-nonsense. Also, lonely and carrying secrets that only her beloved rescue dog knows about.

Ada Kowalski is lonely too. She came to England to help people, but she can't seem to help herself.

Jane and her daughter Frankie are new to the street, although Jane's cleaning-obsessive mother, Min, is never far away. Jane wishes she could be as outspoken as her daughter. What will it take for Jane to finally stand up to everyone?

One life-changing event brings Birdie, Ada, and Jane together in ways they never imagined. But is it ever too late to begin again?

Praise for Goodbye Birdie Greenwing:

'Extremely funny and incredibly moving.' โ€“ Jessica Bull, author of Miss Austen Investigates

'Ericka Waller writes beautifully about the complex love that bonds families and forges the most unlikely of friendships.' โ€“ Katherine Heiny, author of Games and Rituals
