A ';delicate and incandescent' novel of love, loss, escape, and the ways the natural world can save us amid the chaos of war (San Francisco Chronicle). World War II. Downed during his first mission, James Hunter is taken captive as a German POW. To bide his time, he studies a nest of redstarts at the edge of camp. Some prisoners plot escape; some are shot. And then, one day, James is called to the Kommandant's office. Meanwhile, back home, James's new wife, Rose, is on her own, free in a way she has never known. Then, James's sister, Enid, loses everything during the Blitz and must seek shelter with Rose. In a cottage near Ashdown Forest, the two women jealously guard secrets, but form a surprising friendship. Each of these characters finds unexpected freedom amid war's privations and discover confinements that come with peace. ';Beautifully written [and] extremely controlled.' TheWashington Post ';Lyrical… Humphreys is a metaphysical novelist; for her, intricate emotional content finds specific analogues in the made world.' The New Yorker ';With her trademark proseexquisitely limpidHumphreys convinces us of the birdlike strength of the powerless.' Emma Donoghue ';This riveting novel is a song. Listen.' Richard Bausch
