The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw: Nonfiction Eco-Thriller about Belize Out this Week

News flash: Macaw featured on the cover of this week’s New York Times Book Review!
I’ve been waiting four long years for the release of The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw: One Woman’s Fight to Save the World’s Most Beautiful Bird, ever since I met author Bruce Barcott in San Ignacio during one of his research trips to Belize. Bruce is a Seattle-based writer and Outside Editor-at-Large, and is in Colorado this week reading and signing his new book at the Boulder Bookstore on Wednesday and Denver’s Tattered Cover on Tuesday the 19th. I look forward to reading the book, which features a number of Belizean and expat characters, as Bruce tells the tale of the infamous Chalillo Dam and the Upper Macal River.

When I read about this book on the Belize Forum, I knew that I had to have it. Once I started reading I could not put it down. We travel to Belize every winter and it holds a special place in our hearts. I called a friend that has a winter home in Belize and she went and bought the book. We are buying some to take to Belize this winter and give to the locals in Hopkins. Well written book that tugs at the heart strings.
