Number of Pages: 350


When Nicola buries his father Nectarios after a long battle with cancer, he expects peace. But his cousin Petra reveals a shocking secret and he is drawn into seeking her revenge, instigating a chaos he could never have foreseen. His mother Lidia, held tight by dementia's cruel grip and begging to die, hallucinates about an old love she says visits her every afternoon, while Nicola's true love has vanished from his life. The old man's will reignites family tensions, a female stranger visits his father's grave, and his widower uncle forms an unlikely friendship with a woman that reminds him of his dead wife. What's real and what's imagined? Who will rise and who will fall? The crows that signalled death's embrace in his childhood rule Nicola's waking hours and his dreams--their haunting caw predicting an impending doom. A tragic accident. A murder. A reconciliation. And then--against all odds--new life.
