I'm delighted to be quoted on the cover, and I stand by every word: Evocative, haunting, masterful. I loved this book - I read it as a proof and I'm delighted to dip into it again now (I shall be reading it all again because Judith is coming to my book club). Liv Ferrars, born in England, has lived in a ramshackle house in Upstate New York since the '60s when Birdeye was a thriving commune. Now there is only Liv, her two closest friends Sonny and Mishti, and one of her adult daughters left. And then one April morning a young man turns up unexpectedly. At the same time Sonny and Mishti make an announcement, and shortly after Liv's other daughter arrives from England, and everything that Liv thought was stable and ongoing is upset and unreckonable. Judith is a friend of mine, but I highly recommend Birdeye - for the story and the writing. A contender for my books of the year. Published by Salt in May and available to pre-order now from Waterstones and elsewhere.
