About

It all begins with the scratching in the ceiling. From the moment Alison discovers the dinner service in the attic, with its curious pattern of floral owls, a chain of events is set in progress that is to effect everybody's lives.

Relentlessly, Alison, her step-brother Roger and Welsh boy Gwyn are drawn into the replay of a tragic Welsh legend - a modern drama played out against a background of ancient jealousies.

As the tension mounts, it becomes apparent that only by accepting and facing the situation can it be resolved.

As childrens books go this is top of the tree. There is so much raw power here it's astounding. The shear strength of myth and emotion are intense, way beyond a standard childrens novel.
