Birds of Passage
Take an unforgettable journey through love, loss,and redemption
Fans of Louis de Bernières, Daphne du Maurier and Emily Brontë may enjoy Birds of Passage. It is a masterwork of literary realism and a meditation on life’s fleeting beauty and the courage it takes to truly live.
An ageing recluse, Robertson Sinclair, returns to live in an English village, one he remembers from his youth. The award-winning novelist hasn’t published in years. When his friend’s activist granddaughter is murdered in a Borneo rainforest, a woman persuades him to write her story.
A year later, news follows of the attempted suicide of a gifted young pianist with the world at her feet, whom he’d come to know. In a search for meaning, he unravels the threads of her glittering, tormented life and confronts the buried memories of his first love.
The lives of three remarkable women converge in poignant, richly layered stories about personal sacrifice, the cost of fame, and suppressed grief. Their lives and the writer’s weave together, and treasured memories are allowed to breathe.
Birds of Passage is the passionate portrayal of half-finished lives, resonating with readers who, like the book’s heroines, navigate the fateful events of their own journeys
CASSIE'S SONG
A powerful story of love, glamour and sacrifice
From the bucolic Hampshire villages of Jane Austen to the steamy rainforests of Borneo, Katy and Clara Yehonala join a new heroine to confront the devastating price the world pays for beauty.
Cassie’s Song dances across the glamorous fashion capitals of the world and treads the horrific, secret world of corporations in the prehistoric rainforests of Kalimantan, revealing the grim world of human rights abuses and rainforest bastardry.
The climax will leave two mothers uplifted by their magnificent daughters and facing loss that must be endured like the rivers tell time, not the clocks.
There are monsters as well as angels in this life.
