Eadie Browne is an odd child with unusual parents, living in a
strange house neighbouring the local cemetery. Bullied at school
– but protected by her two best friends Celeste and Josh, as well
as her many imaginary friends lying six feet under next door –
Eadie muddles her way through. Arriving in Manchester as a student
in the late 1980s, Eadie confronts a busy, gritty Victorian
metropolis a far cry from the small Garden City she's left behind.
But soon enough she experiences a novel freedom she never imagined
and it's seductive. She can be who she wants to be, do as she
pleases and no one back home needs to know. As Manchester
regenerates under the dizzying and colourful euphoria of Rave
counter-culture, Eadie is swept along, blithely ignoring danger and
reality. Until, one night, her past comes hurtling at her with
ramifications which will continue into her adult life. Now, as the
new Millennium beckons, Eadie is turning 30 with a marriage in
tatters. She must travel back to where she once lived for a funeral
she can't quite comprehend. As she journeys from the North to the
South, from the present to the past, Eadie contemplates all that
was then – and all that is now – in this moving love-letter to
youth. PRAISE FOR LITTLE WING: 'A terrific family drama of secrets
. . . and so cleverly plotted' Graham Norton 'A completely
compelling story of family secrets, courage and resilience' Fearne
Cotton 'Immensely enjoyable . . . infused with empathy and a great
sense of place' Erica James 'What a treat. This filled my heart
with joy and occasionally my eyes with tears; it is beautiful'
