Description
A poignant and powerful exploration of grief, family, and healing. When a sudden loss strikes, a father and his two sons are left to navigate their new reality in a London apartment. As they struggle to come to terms with their pain, an unexpected visitor appears - a mysterious bird who embodies both the darkness and the tenderness of human emotion. This moving novella is part essay on grief, part polyphonic fable, and part exploration of the complexities of family life. With its angular wit and profound truths, it offers a startlingly original and haunting portrayal of one family's journey towards healing.
