Transformation, enchantment, and the emotional truths of family history teem in Kathleen Jennings’ stunning debut, Flyaway.
Strange what chooses to flourish here. Which plants. Which stories.
Bettina Scott lives a tidy, quiet life in Runagate, tending to her delicate mother and their well-kept garden after her father and brothers disappear – until a note arrives that sends Bettina into the scrublands beyond, searching for answers about what really happened to this town and to her family.
'Half mystery, half fairy tale, all exquisitely rendered and full of teeth.'
Holly Black, bestselling author of The Spiderwick Chronicles
‘Jennings’ prose dazzles, and her magic feels real enough that you might even prick your finger on it.’
Kelly Link, bestselling author of White Cat, Black Dog: Stories
‘Brilliant light washes through these pages, a perfect foil for the novella’s shadowy, all-too-serious battles of class, community and family. Sly visitations from imported, half-naturalised folklore add further layers of mystery and wonder to a more-than-magical tale.’
Margo Lanagan, author of Printz Honor Book Tender Morsels
