Call of the Curlew by Elizabeth Brooks

'Unforgettable' - ROSAMUND LUPTON Virginia Wrathmell has always known she will meet her death on the marsh. One snowy New Year's Eve, at the age of eighty-six, Virginia feels the time has finally come. New Year's Eve, 1939.

Like Daphne du Maurier…powerfully conjures up a place, a time, and a story that are unforgettable-- ROSAMUND LUPTON
An atmospheric, beautifully paced novel about sacrifice, the urge to belong and revenge. It's full of well-drawn characters I loved to hate, and those that I didn't want to let go, even after I closed the last page. -- CLAIRE FULLER
A beautifully written, atmospheric novel -- reminiscent of Jane Eyre... bewitching and haunting -- EOWYN IVEY
Melodic and beautiful * Prima *
Really special * Good Housekeeping *
