From acclaimed author Dan Smith comes a page-turning, atmospheric
ghost story packed full of adventure and heart ... 'What a story
... absolutely gripping' EMMA CARROLL 'An enchanting, beautifully
crafted wartime tale'ALLY SHERRICK Malaya, 1942. Nisha's home is
destroyed by war and she and her mother, Amma, flee to her father's
ancestral house in England, perched on a cliff top on the cold
Northern coast. When Amma falls gravely ill, Nisha is left to face
her formidable grandmother alone. Grandmother's rules are
countless, and her Anglo-Indian granddaughter is even forbidden
from climbing the old weeping tree. But when a ghost child beckons
Nisha to sit under its boughs, and promises her Amma's life in
return for three truths, its pull proves irresistible ... A
thrilling historical ghost story; full of adventure, grief, guilt,
forgiveness and belonging A fresh angle on a wartime story: the
prejudice Nisha faces as a refugee feels particularly relevant
today Perfect for fans of Frances Hardinge and Emma Carroll Praise
for Dan Smith: 'Action, adventure, wolves, snow ... this story has
EVERYTHING. I devoured it so quickly I need to read it again.' EMMA
CARROLL on She Wolf 'This book grabbed me from page one - highly
recommended' HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY on My Friend the Enemy
