In Spring Green, Wisconsin, spinster sisters Milly and Twiss have spent their lives listening to heartbeats and heartaches, nursing birds and the people who bring them back to health. Back in the summer of 1947, Milly and Twiss knew nothing about trying to mend what had been accidentally broken. Milly was known as a great beauty with emerald eyes and Twiss was a brazen wild child who never wore a dress or did what she was told. That was the summer their golf pro father had an accident that cost him both his swing and his charm, and their mother, the daughter of a wealthy jeweler, finally admitted that their hardscrabble lives wouldn't change. It was the summer their priest, Father Rice, announced that God didn't exist and ran off to Mexico, and a boy named Asa finally caught Milly's eye. Most unforgettably, it was also the summer their cousin Bett came down from a town called Deadwater and changed the course of their lives forever. Rebecca Rasmussen's masterful debut novel is full of hope and beauty, heartbreak and sacrifice, love and the power of sisterhood, offering wonderful surprises at every turn.

Julia Webb's Bird Sisters is a surreal journey through sisterhood and the world of the family via the natural world. Fascinated by the 'otherness' of things, her poems expose places and relationships that are not always entirely comfortable places to exist. Many of them feature transformations of some kind - a woman wears a dress of live bees or becomes a bird and family members turn into owls and sparrows. Julia Webb blurs the boundaries between fairy tale and reality with dark undercurrents of humour which ensures the poems are never bleak, but always compelling. 'There is something both comforting and predatory about the sisters that keep reappearing in Julia Webb's first collection. It is a visceral world they inhabit where people and animals partake of each other's existence through constant metamorphosis. Everyday life is full of demons and, as the father in one of the poems has it, THE DEVIL'S WORK. All is strange or estranged in fact, but it is articulated in poems of supple inventive concentration. In that sense Bird Sisters is a book that casts deep shadows.' - George Szirtes 'Glittering and shadowy, the 'magic' of this first collection is anchored in the 'real' of nylon sheets, a rented TV, Thetford Forest... Its language is spare and supple, wry, and can stun with such transformations as "a baby dandled on the knee of the sea" ('Quiet Man Norfolk') and "Water held a knife to the throat of the village" ('Water'). Beset by the dark instability of a particular family's life, Bird Sisters exerts a powerful hold, as if to read it is to be haunted by things one half-remembers.' - Moniza Alvi

From the celebrated author of The Bird Sisters, a gorgeously rendered and emotionally charged novel that spans generations, telling the story of two siblings, raised apart, attempting to share a life. It is 1938 when Eveline, a young bride, follows her husband into the wilderness of Minnesota. Though their cabin is rundown, they have a river full of fish, a garden out back, and a new baby boy named Hux. But when Emil leaves to take care of his sick father, the unthinkable happens: a stranger arrives, and Eveline becomes pregnant. She gives the child away, and while Hux grows up hunting and fishing in the woods with his parents, his sister, Naamah, is raised an orphan. Years later, haunted by the knowledge of this forsaken girl, Hux decides to find his sister and bring her home to the cabin. But Naamah, even wilder than the wilderness that surrounds them, may make it impossible for Hux to ever tame her, to ever make up for all that she, and they, have lost. Set before a backdrop of vanishing forest, this is a luminous novel of love, regret, and hope. This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

An enchanting--and twisted--tale of two sisters' quest to find their parents When their parents disappear in the middle of the night, young sisters Summer and Bird set off on a quest to find them. A cryptic picture message from their mother leads them to a familiar gate in the woods, but comfortable sights quickly give way to a new world entirely--Down--one inhabited by talking birds and the evil Puppeteer queen. Summer and Bird are quickly separated, and their divided hearts lead them each in a very different direction in the quest to find their parents, vanquish the Puppeteer, lead the birds back to their Green Home, and discover the identity of the true bird queen. With breathtaking language and deliciously inventive details, Katherine Catmull has created a world unlike any other, skillfully blurring the lines between magic and reality and bringing to life a completely authentic cast of characters and creatures.
