This is the story of two sisters, Mary and Grace. As small children,
growing up at their property called Abyssinia, they played with their
dolls house together, side by side, always. Grace loved Mary, and Mary
loved Grace. But inseparable bonds in life can be unexpectedly
shattered. When this happens to Grace, she is plunged into a dark and
mesmerising world, a world full of bells and the ringing sky, of odd
little children, strange events and frighteningly bizarre grown-ups.
A desperately moving and ultimately uplifting tale of childhood
innocence: this is Ursula Dubosarsky at her most brilliant and
satisfying.
