An unconventional family shaped by theatre and war
Good Condition – noticeable cover, edge and corner wear.
Growing up in a crumbling English manor after the First World War, Cristabel Seagrave and her siblings create a theatre from the bones of a whale washed ashore. Their productions become a place of freedom, invention and belonging amid the neglect and upheaval of adult life. But as another war approaches, the courage rehearsed on stage must be carried into a far more dangerous world. Joanna Quinn’s sweeping novel follows an eccentric family across decades, blending wit, heartbreak and adventure in a story about imagination, loyalty and the roles people choose to play.
