The Inheritance of Small Birds

A novel · Clare Ashworth

A woman inherits her estranged grandmother's coastal house and finds forty years of unsent letters revealing a family secret. Dual-timeline book-club fiction: birds on the wire, a drawer of paper, and a house that has been waiting to tell the truth.

The house was smaller than the photographs had promised, which was how she knew it was the right house. In the desk drawer, tied with kitchen string, were forty years of letters her grandmother had written and never sent. The birds on the wire outside did not leave when she opened the window.
