Synopsis
A year of bones, of grave-dirt, relentless work. Of mummified corpses and chanting priests.
A year of rape, suicide, sudden death. Of friendship too. Of desire. Of love...
A year unlike any other he has lived.
At first Baratte sees this as a chance to clear the burden of history, a fitting task for a modern man of reason. But before long, he begins to suspect that the destruction of the cemetery might be a prelude to his own. (20081020)

Review
Praise for ONE MORNING LIKE A BIRD
(. )'A revelatory perspective on an Eastern city in the second world war . . .The prose is as delicate as a Japanese print' --(Sunday Times )
'Not only does he combine delicious literary conceits with thought-provoking explorations into the human condition, he has the rare gift of tossing out perfect sentences that make you stop in your tracks' --(Metro )
'Miller's delicate prose most closely recalls the tone of emotional restraint in Kazuo Ishiguro's early novels . . . deftly coheres into a typically bittersweet resolution.' --(Independent on Sunday )
