“A witch woman’s garden is different, even one where the woman is discreet.”
Nine weeks to publication!

GHOSTBIRD
17 March 2016. From Honno – the Welsh Woman’s Press

1 A witchwoman's garden

‘Someone needs to be forgiven, someone needs to forgive.’

GHOSTBIRD concerns Cadi Hopkins, a fourteen-year-old girl who lives in a remote village in Wales. Cadi wants answers her emotionally distant mother, Violet refuses to disclose. Lonely and surrounded by ambiguity, she is determined to uncover the mystery surrounding the deaths of her father and her little sister, both of whom died before she was born.

Caught in the middle is Cadi’s aunt, Lili the witch woman.

In a world of hauntings and magic, in a small village where it rains everyday throughout the month of August, the secrets and the ghosts are finally waking up, and none of the Hopkins women will be able to escape them.

If Lili won’t use her magic to make Cadi’s mother talk, can Cadi conjure some of her own?

In GHOSTBIRD you will find sadness and love; a small ghost, a little knitting, a lot of birds and a good deal of rain. And the Welsh myth of Blodeuwedd – like the rain – is a thread running through the story.
