Best-selling Alice Hoffman makes the impossible seem real in this tender story which cleverly interweaves the magic from an old curse with a modern love-story against a background of small town prejudice. Twig’s life has always been constrained by the family secret. As she and her mother go quietly about their business they make sure they don’t get too close to anyone in Sidwell.
They have a secret to hide. Twig’s brother James has wings and at night he flies up, up into the sky. But the arrival of new neighbours changes everything. Twig becomes friends with Julia and Agate, James falls in love with Agate and everything that is hidden is uncovered. ~ Andrea Reece
