Sleep of Birds

Jake is older, talented, exciting. But when Sigrid is isolated with him in a remote cottage on the moors, he becomes as dangerous and frightening as the landscape. Flying from Jake's violence, Sigrid takes refuge with friends in St Ives and begins to find peace and a new love. But Jake explodes again into this safe life, making her face her conflicting and powerful feelings for him. Across the rugged coastline of Cornwall and the bleak and beautiful spaces of Dartmoor, the cycle of damage must be broken before the future can emerge.
