"From one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists, a
stunningly insightful, emotionally powerful new novel about
an outsider haunted by an inescapable past: a story of
loneliness and survival, guilt and loss, and the power of
forgiveness. Jake Whyte is living on her own in an old
farmhouse on a craggy British island, a place of ceaseless
rains and battering winds. Her disobedient collie, Dog, and
a flock of sheep are her sole companions, which is how she
wanted it to be. But every few nights something--or
someone--picks off one of the sheep and sounds a new deep
pulse of terror. There are foxes in the woods, a strange boy and a strange
man, rumors of an obscure, formidable beast. And there is
also Jake's past--hidden thousands of miles away and years
ago, held in the silences about her family and the scars
that stripe her back--a past that threatens to break into
the present. With exceptional artistry and empathy, All the
Birds, Singing reveals an isolated life in all its struggles
and stubborn hopes, unexpected beauty, and hard-won
redemption"--
