Donald is a forty-something aspiring drag queen with a lifetime of bitterness hiding behind his nail polish. He's not been back to his northern home-town since his father kicked him out after catching him wearing his dead mother's clothes. But his past is about to catch up with him, when his strange, beautiful younger brother arrives on his doorstep. Will Owen’s unexpected presence pull him out of his depression? Or is he destined to drag his little brother down with him?

The debut novel by actor Russell Tovey, Starlings features a multi-cast, led by Andrew Scott as Donald and George MacKay as Owen.

Also featuring Jason Patel, Julian Kostov, Michele Austin, Russell Tovey, Tania Rodrigues, Nigel Pilkington, Laurence Dobiesz, Sarah Whitehouse, Sagar Arya, David Scholfield, and Annie Aldington. With special thanks to Dosa Cat, Gigi Zahir and That Girl.

C’est une histoire que j’aurais préféré découvrir dans un livre physique.
J’ai trouvé tous les narrateurs excellents, mais j’ai été déroutée par les autres sons d’ambiance, la musique, etc.
C’était presque comme écouter un film. C’est une expérience nouvelle pour moi, et je n’aime pas trop.

Malgré tout, j’ai adoré l’histoire et les personnages, notamment Owen, Peter et Florrie. Donald est un personnage tellement agaçant et méchant, mais son parcours est assez cohérent pour qu’on éprouve de la compassion pour lui.
J'ai aimé la finesse de l'écriture et la profondeur donnée aux personnages en si peu de temps.

Très belle histoire ; réalisation déroutante
