Gray receives an unexpected phone call from university acquaintance Martina Pelf. Martina is
calling Sandy to ask for help with a mysterious question she's been left with after she's spent
half a day locked in a room by border control officials for no reason she can fathom: 'Curlew
or curfew? You choose.' And what's any of this got to do with the story of a young and talented
blacksmith hounded from her trade and her home more than five hundred years ago? Ali Smith's
novel takes wing  soaring between our atomised present and our medieval past in the hope we can
open our locked down homes and selves to all the other times  other species  other histories 
other possibilities. '[An] entertaining and expert portrayal of the world we live in  seen by
the most beguiling and likeable of novelistic intelligences' Telegraph'[Companion Piece] makes
you look at the world afresh. For me  it turned a cold and depressing day into a bright one'
