Had me in tears on my red eye flight this morning!
A small girl is sent to live with foster parents on a farm in rural Ireland, without knowing when she will return home. In the strangers' house, she finds a warmth and affection she has not known before and slowly begins to blossom in their care.
It is a quiet novella (and only 88 pages) but there is so much life and tenderness in the small details. Immediate re-read.
