Everyone knows what Cornelia did all those years ago.
But no one knows what she will do next.
Cornelia Blackwood lives a quiet life. When she goes to the corner shop
to buy milk, people whisper behind her back.
Her one constant, her rock, is her husband. But when he doesn't come
home from a work conference, she is left alone to try to pick up the
pieces. And before long, the secret he has hidden from her for all these
years is laid bare.
From a supremely talented storyteller, The Flight of Cornelia
Blackwood is a powerful novel of motherhood, loss and loneliness and
how we can make damaging choices when pushed to our emotional edge.
