The Ones Who Flew The Nest by Isabelle Kenyon
Four stories of feathers, blood and eggs. These are journeys fuelled by love, loss and self-discovery, in which characters must fight or take flight.
"An evocative and unflinching story which shines a light on fractured families, love, and regret, all seeped in Manchester's past, present and uncertain futureIncredibly moving and beautifully written, I loved it." - Gaynor Jones on 'The People's History Museum is Closed by Helen Kennedy.; "Ivy Wife is delicately spare, beautifully written and hauntingly melancholic tale about female identity in the face of a shapeless loss, that will linger long after the last line." - Lara Williams, Author of Treats, Supper Club and The Odyssey on 'Ivy Wife' by Louise Finnigan
