From the author of the acclaimed Thunderhead . It all began when they started running away
... Life for Winona Dalloway is not as it should be. Her husband is no longer her husband
her children are not at home with her and the city in which she lives is besieged by fires.
Black ash falls like snow songbirds screech like dinosaurs and the doctors are calling her
mad ... In this looking-glass world Winona is forced to prove she is a sane rational human
being. As the pronouncements of the professionals grow more insistent so too do the voices
crowding inside Winona's head. She seeks solace in the company of plants and animals and
begins to imagine an entirely other way of being - one that might make whole her broken heart.
