So, I'm crowdsourcing here: I'm SURE I read a novel once about a maid (I think) who threw bleach at a crow and turned it into a magpie, or something like that. I'm thinking Toni Morrison, or maybe Bastard Out of Carolina, but I can find no mention on the internet. Anyone else heard of this? I'm about to steal it if I can make sure it's not plagiarism.
