Under the cries of owls
14.99 €
"Under the Screams of the Owls" is the heartfelt story of the children of the Weathers family living in a small town in New Zealand in the mid-twentieth century. Thirteen-year-old Francie dreams of becoming an opera singer, but is forced to quit school and get a job. Toby's life is marred by epileptic seizures, terrifying her sisters and those around her. The youngest, Theresa, is trying to get rid of her childhood nickname Chickie. And the incredible imagination of Daphne, who dreams of becoming a writer and sincerely believes in magic, condemns her to psychiatric treatment. Their growing up is a series of heartbreak, loss, and isolation, but also examples of fortitude and emerging hope that even in the darkest moments in life, light can be found.
