Meet the Bird Family

All four children have an idyllic childhood: a picture-book cottage in a country village, a warm, cosy kitchen filled with love and laughter, sun-drenched afternoons in a rambling garden.

But one Easter weekend a tragedy strikes the Bird family that is so devastating that, almost imperceptibly, it begins to tear them apart.

The years pass and the children become adults and begin to develop their own quite separate lives. Soon it's almost as though they've never been a family at all.

Almost.
But not quite.

Because something has happened that will call them home,
back to the house they grew up in — and to what really happened that Easter weekend all those years ago.

    She’d let herself die. Was that the same as killing yourself? He didn’t know.
  • Habitante de librohas quoted2 years ago
    I realised that a spirit is just another word for a memory, isn’t it?
  • Habitante de librohas quoted2 years ago
    I know as well as you do that only the individual has the key to change themselves. It’s buried deep inside each and every one of us and although someone else can help us to find the key, we’re the only ones who can use it.
