Críticas:
"Specht's strong, nuanced prose reveals heartfelt insights into her bevy of characters, ensuring a memorable and touching read."--Texas Observer
"An ambitious, highly accomplished debut. . . . Specht moves among a deep cast of characters and corresponding perspectives with absolute mastery. . . . Most important, and impressive, is Specht's sure handling of the interior life."--Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
"A finely wrought first novel. . . . Specht weaves fascinating details on snowflakes, weaving, birding, genetics and engineering, plus a spot-on-portrait of Austin."--Kirkus
"Migratory Animals brings to the page an astonishing admixture of ambitiousness, originality, and authority that's rare among established writers and exceptional for a first effort. . . . Richly layered and psychologically incisive, it is that rare first novel that leaves the reader clamoring for the next."--The Boston Globe
"Delightfully ambitious. . . . Specht perfectly captures the minute details of contemporary life in a certain social niche. . . . Novels of such scope and ambition, inspecting the way we encounter the wider world today, are rare."--Joanna Rakoff, The New York Times Book Review
"A promising debut. . . . One of the novel's wonders is the way Specht illustrates her characters -- not with great globs of exposition, but with quick, economical brushstrokes."--Dallas Morning News
"A novel of tremendous scope and insight that succeeds both as an exploration of larger global concerns and an acute examination of the most intimate parts of our lives. Mary Helen Specht is a terrific writer -- passionate and generous, wry and insightful. A very moving debut."--Molly Antopol, author of The UnAmericans
"A memorable novel. . . . The characters represent a specific place and a specific era, but their travails and truths are universal and timeless."--San Antonio Express-News
"Mary Helen Specht's lyrical novel reminds me of the work of both Claire Messud and Barbara Kingsolver. . . . A luminous debut. . . . Rich with love and heartbreak, it's the book I'll be wanting to share with all my friends."--Amanda Eyre Ward, author of How to Be Lost
"An emotionally nuanced debut. . . . The men and women of Mary Helen Specht's imagination inhabit a world of breathtaking vividness, where life's pains and pleasures ripple through to marvelous effect. A heartbreaking, edifying, and resonant work of art."--Keija Parssinen, author of The Ruins of Us

An Austin American-Statesman Selects Book
A powerful debut novel about a group of 30-somethings struggling for connection and belonging, Migratory Animals centers on a protagonist who finds herself torn between love and duty.
When Flannery, a young scientist, is forced to return to Austin from five years of research in Nigeria, she becomes split between her two homes. Having left behind her loving fiancé without knowing when she can return, Flan learns that her sister, Molly, has begun to show signs of the genetic disease that slowly killed their mother.
As their close-knit circle of friends struggles with Molly’s diagnosis, Flannery must grapple with what her future will hold: an ambitious life of love and the pursuit of scientific discovery in West Africa, or the pull of a life surrounded by old friends, the comfort of an old flame, family obligations, and the home she’s always known. But she is not the only one wrestling with uncertainty. Since their college days, each of her friends has faced unexpected challenges that make them reevaluate the lives they’d always planned for themselves.
A mesmerizing debut from an exciting young writer, Migratory Animals is a moving, thought-provoking novel, told from shifting viewpoints, about the meaning of home and what we owe each other—and ourselves.
