Birdwatching: A Novel by Stephen Alter follows American ornithologist Guy Fletcher, who is recruited into the CIA and sent straight into the heart of a secret war raging in the Himalaya. Alongside him are his two unlikely partners—the enigmatic Captain Imtiaz Afridi of the Indian Military Intelligence, whom he meets on a hunting trip in Kashmir, and the mysterious but alluring Kesang Sherpa, who saunters into his world in Kalimpong. With their missions and emotions inextricably entwined, the three must learn to trust their own instincts, and one another, to uncover what lies beneath the dazzling Himalayan snow.
The novel delves into the world of birdwatching, intertwining the beauty of nature with the complexities of human relationships and historical events. Through the lens of birdwatching, Alter weaves a narrative that not only explores the art of observing birds but also delves into deeper themes of loss, introspection, and the impact of war on individuals. With a richly detailed setting and a narrative that unfolds with suspense and depth, Birdwatching offers readers a unique blend of natural beauty, historical context, and compelling storytelling that keeps readers engaged from start to finish.
