'Em is ten turning eleven. Over the course of a long summer holiday, in a new house, she forms an unconventional friendship with an elderly neighbour. This is also a story about sisters and the complex bonds that sisters sometimes share: the Bird Lady ruled by the Quiet One, Em resisting the natural companionship of her sister Lu.'
