'What a story ... absolutely gripping'
EMMA CARROLL

'An enchanting,
beautifully crafted wartime tale'ALLY SHERRICK

Malaya, 1942. Nisha's home is destroyed
by war and she and her mother, Amma, flee to her father's
ancestral house in England, perched on a cliff top on the cold
Northern coast.

When Amma falls gravely ill, Nisha is left
to face her formidable grandmother alone. Grandmother's rules are
countless, and her Anglo-Indian granddaughter is even forbidden
from climbing the old weeping tree.

But when a ghost child
beckons Nisha to sit under its boughs, and promises her Amma's
life in return for three truths, its pull proves irresistible ...

A thrilling historical ghost story; full of
adventure, grief, guilt, forgiveness and belonging

A fresh angle on a wartime story: the prejudice Nisha
faces as a refugee feels particularly relevant today

Perfect for fans of Frances Hardinge and Emma Carroll
