Zed and her family move unwillingly form London to Cornwall to support her mother's mental health. Gradually the family falls apart and it is only when Zed realises the local Cormorants have something to do with the disasters that consume them, and that they are attempting to right an ancient wrong, that she and her sister Amy start working together to find a solution and call a truce.
A really haunting story – in more ways than one. I shall often think of those riverbanks, the birds, the town and the relationship between man and nature – it’s a clever weaving of history with contemporary issues. A compelling story, full of mystery and enchantment, and readers will love it, the perfect book to get lost in on a hot summer’s day. Sophia Bennett
Tentang Penulis
Sally has drawn, painted, glued, moulded, sewn, shaped and created since before she could string a sentence together.
She studied art at college and went on to study for a textile design degree, but left to work for BT
A few years ago she did a Stained Glass course, then a Resin course, a machine embroidery course, an enamelling course…. Sally found her original love of drawing and created buildings on reclaimed wood and vintage items which is when she set up her business. When she moved to Cornwall she took to the streets of Lostwithiel sketching the buildings in her home town.
This led to studying for an MA in Illustration at Falmouth University. Adding a few new passions along the way, collage and repeat pattern making.
Sally provided the illustrations and handwriting for the story-within-a-story in Zed and the Cormorants
