’Hugely evocative and beautifully written’ Anna Mazzola, author
of The Clockwork Girl ’Polly Crosby’s writing is exquisite and
this latest book is every bit as evocative as her previous
novels’ My Weekly Top pick of the month May 2023 ‘A thoroughly
compelling mystery meets a poignant love story, all wrapped up in
beautifully lyrical writing’ Frances Quinn, author of The
Smallest Man ‘A beguiling mystery from a gifted storyteller’
Louise Fein, author of People Like Us 1938: Lady Vita Goldsborough
lives in the menacing shadow of her controlling older brother,
Aubrey. But when she meets local artist Dodie Blakeney, the two
women form a close bond, and Vita finally glimpses a chance to be
free. 1997: Following the death of her mother, Eve Blakeney returns
to the coast where she spent childhood summers with her beloved
grandmother, Dodie. Eve hopes that the visit will help make sense
of her grief. The last thing she expects to find is a bundle of
letters that hint at the heart-breaking story of Dodie’s
relationship with a woman named Vita, and a shattering secret that
echoes through the decades. What she discovers will overturn
everything she thought she knew about her family – and change her
life forever. ‘Luminous and captivating … Polly Crosby’s
shimmering writing veils a dark hint of the gothic’ Kate Griffin,
author of Fyneshade What readers are saying about Vita and the
Birds 'A beautiful and haunting tale of family, love, control and
connections. This book and its characters will stay with me for a
long time' Netgalley reviewer 'A lush and evocative novel of loss
and forbidden love' Netgalley reviewer 'Beautifully written, a dark
and moody yet intriguing story' Netgalley reviewer 'An
extraordinary book that I read in a 4 hour straight session without
stopping for food or drink . . . A spellbinding read' Netgalley
reviewer
