The narration of this book is narrated by four different narrators. These narrators are portrayed as various members of the bird race that tries to survive in a world where humans have almost wiped out all other songbirds. The danger that these birds face is not only physical but also cultural and social, with humans making up the majority of their enemies.

They are highly sensitive to changes such as deforestation and climate change, due to their dependence on their environment for survival. Songbirds, more than any other bird, have adapted to this sense of being uniquely human-dependent. With about 300 species worldwide, songbirds symbolize beauty, artistry, and elegance. The novel explores how this group of birds is seen from different walks of life with a focus on the lovers and performers in particular. The author's use of cultural references helps readers keep up with all the happenings within a rapidly-changing society.
