The Woman with Wings

From the author of critically acclaimed fiction such as Midnight in Berlin and Ike and Kay, comes The Woman with Wings, a tale steeped in magical realism which follows one woman's journey of self-discovery.

Alison Spedding is a loner; no real friends, no boyfriend and a job in which she goes unnoticed.

At 32, her only passion is birdwatching. That is until one afternoon, high on a Scottish mountain, Alison experiences something that causes her grip on reality to slip. As her mind begins to spiral towards breaking point, her infatuated colleague, Jed, is concerned. Can he intervene before Alison finally loses control?

The Woman with Wings explores one woman’s identity whilst posing universal questions: Who is she? Where does she belong? And must she accept her lot, or can she spread her wings and be free at last?
