From one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists, a stunningly insightful, emotionally powerful new novel about an outsider haunted by an inescapable past: a story of loneliness and survival, guilt and loss, and the power of forgiveness."Vividly drawn... When the birds do 'sing,' and Jake's primal tragedy is revealed, it is clever and very unexpected indeed."  -  The Guardian (UK)Jake Whyte has retreated to a remote farmhouse on a craggy British island, a place of ceaseless rains and battering winds, with only her collie and a flock of sheep as companions. But something - or someone - has begun picking off her sheep one by one. There are foxes in the woods, a strange man wandering the island, and rumours of a mysterious beast prowling at night. And there is Jake’s relentless past - one she tried to escape thousands of miles away and years ago, concealed in stubborn silence and isolation and the scars that stripe her back. "Extraordinarily accomplished, one of those books that tears around in your cerebellum like a dark firework, and which, upon finishing, you immediately want to pick up again."  -   Financial Times (UK)With exceptional artistry and empathy, All The Birds, Singing reveals an isolated life in all its struggles and stubborn hopes, unexpected beauty, and hard-won redemption.
