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.'
