Hum

By Natalia Hero

"Hero's debut is a work of stunning allegory. Magical thinking made real - darting, thrumming, trembling the air around it."
- SEAN MICHAELS, author of Us Conductors, winner of the 2014 Giller Prize for fiction

Hum follows a young woman whose life is changed forever when, after being sexually assaulted, she gives birth to a hummingbird. She must learn to cope with not only what happened to her, but with the bird's persistent, agitating presence in her life. Natalia Hero's debut is a beautiful and tormented magical-realist novella about surviving trauma, reclaiming oneself and what it means to heal.
