The Night Rainbow by Claire King
During one long, hot summer, five-year-old Pea and her little sister Margot play alone in the meadow behind their house, in a small village in Southern France. Her mother is too sad to take care of them: she left her happiness in the hospital, along with the baby. Pea's father has died in an accident, and Maman, burdened by her double grief, has retreated to a place where Pea cannot reach her. Then Pea meets Claude, a man who seems to love the meadow as she does. Pea believes that she and Margot have found a friend - maybe even a new papa. But why do the villagers view Claude with suspicion, and what secret is he keeping in his strange, empty house?Claire King is the fiction editor for The View from Here magazine, having been born in England and educated at Cambridge. Her short pieces have been nominated for the Bristol Short Story Award and the BBC's Opening Lines program. Her husband and two children live in the south of France with her. It's her debut novel, and it's a good one.
