The Sunday Times bestseller.
They raised themselves on stories. Now it's time for them to write their own...
This is the story of an old English manor house by the sea,
with crumbling chimneys, draping ivy and a library full of dusty hardbacks.
It's the story of the three children who grow up there, and the adventures they
create for themselves while the grown-ups entertain endless party guests: the
worlds they imagine from books they aren't supposed to read, and the lessons
they learn from eavesdropping through oak-panelled doors.
This is the story of a whale that washes up on a beach,
whose bones are claimed by a twelve-year-old girl with big ambitions and an
even bigger imagination. An unwanted orphan who grows into an unmarriageable
young woman, chafing under the confines of her traditional upbringing and
fiercely determined to do things differently.
But as the children grow to adulthood, another story has
been unfolding in the wings. And when the war finally takes centre stage, they
find themselves cast, unrehearsed, into roles they never expected to play.
They raised themselves on stories. Now it's time for them to
write their own...
