The haunting second novel from The Ice Whisperers author Helenka Stachera, which brings together a gothic take on 19th century London with Polish-inspired mythology to create an unforgettable story about found family and the enduring power of memory.
Helenka grew up in a yellow-brick house in the woods with her British mother and Polish father, which stoked her lifelong obsession with fairytales and legends. A Bath Spa graduate who now lives in Bristol with her husband, Helenka wrote her magical debut novel to explore themes of family and belonging that, as an adopted daughter, are very close to her heart.
