About This Book

In a London flat, a father and his two young sons struggle to cope with the sudden death of their mother. They are visited by Crow, a shape-shifting, therapeutic figure inspired by Ted Hughes's poetry, who stays with the family as they navigate the chaotic stages of mourning. The narrative blends poetry, prose, and fable to explore the transformative power of love and art in the face of loss.
