Starling

Sarah Jane Butler

From Shelf: Fiction

All Starling has ever known is a nomadic existence, travelling in a camper van with Mar, her strong-willed mother. But one morning, without explanation, Mar leaves and doesn't come back. Starling must learn to survive without her mother and build a life on her own terms - but can she ever find a place where she truly belongs?

Starling can trap a rabbit, cook a meal from a hedge and hear a bailiff coming from a mile off. All she has ever known is a nomadic existence, travelling in a camper van with Mar, her strong-willed mother. But Mar has cut them off from their community, and this winter they're stuck in deep mud in a wood, with no fuel, no money and no friends. One morning, without explanation, Mar leaves and doesn't come back. Utterly alone, Starling must learn to survive without her mother and build a life on her own terms. An offer to stay with an old friend draws her into a more conventional way of living - but can rootless Starling ever find a place where she truly belongs?
