'A tender story of love, grief and the transformative power of friendship' GUARDIAN
'Truly one of the most beautiful stories you'll ever read' JOANNA CANNON
'Unique and tender' PANDORA SYKES
'An arresting debut novel about grief, but in the most wonderfully oblique way' REVEREND RICHARD COLES
Heartbreaking and heart-stealing, this modern-day fable is an unforgettable novel about sorrow, joy, friendship and love.
It is early. A young man stands on a bridge and lets out a heart-wrenching scream. From deep in the woods, something screams back.
It sounds improbable. But this is how Isaac meets the egg.
The two are unlikely companions. But their chance encounter will transform Isaac's life in ways he cannot yet imagine.
Maybe he will finally understand why he went there that morning. Maybe he will find a way to tell the truth.
Sometimes, to get out of the woods, you have to go into them.
'I laughed, I cried, I sat quietly and thought about what I'd read... a future classic' CLARE MACKINTOSH
'Just magic' KATE SAWYER
