The Kite Makers Alice Rosewell

The ceilings and walls of the Kite Makers' shed are festooned with kites of every size shape and colour, but Bill is in black despair.

His friends and their shared passion for kite making have sustained him since tragedy struck his family, but now the unexpected return of Bill's angry and damaged daughter has thrown their quiet routine into confusion and this time the friends have no idea how to help him.

Will Marianne's bitterness destroy Bill's tranquillity and her own chance of happiness as she chases through France in search of revenge? Will her heedlessness of everyone else's feelings blind her to the possibility of new love?




In this sometimes funny, sometimes tragic story, can kindness overcome bitterness, or are somethings too broken to be fixed?
