I can’t stay with one thought for more than a second without the bird acting up. I close my eyes. I close my eyes to stop thinking, but I still can hear it hum.
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.
