By the end of the week, one member of the reunion party will be deadand everyones a suspect:

This is the story of how we came to Frith. And we're never, ever, ever leaving.'
Amy Connell and Lan Honey are having the best childhood, growing up on a West Country farm - three families, a couple of lodgers, goats, dogs and an orphaned calf called Gabriella Christmas.
The parents are best friends too. Originally from the city, they're learning about farming: growing their own vegetables, milking the goats, slaughtering chickens and scything the hay--
'Mind your eyes! Don't break your neck! Careful!'
The adults are far too busy to keep an eye on Amy and Lan, and Amy and Lan would never tell them about climbing on the high barn roof, or what happened with the axe that time, any more than their parents would tell them the things they get up to - adult things, like betrayal - that threaten to bring the whole fragile idyll tumbling down...
'A gently episodic and humorous tale whose sharp-eyed, effervescent child narrators entertain... Beguilingly readable' Daily Mail
'Jones's evocation of childhood is spot-on: its fierce passions, disaffections, loyalties and suffering' Financial Times

There is bad luck in New Felicity. The people of the small coastal village have taken in Milagros, an 11-year-old Venezuelan refugee, just as Trinidads government has begun cracking down on undocumented migrantsand now an American journalist has come to town asking questions.
New Felicitys superstitious fishermen fear the worst, certain theyve brought bad luck on the village by killing a local witch who had herself murdered two villagers the year before. The town has been plagued since her death by alarming visits from her supernatural mother, as well as by a mysterious profusion of scarlet ibis birds.
Skittish that the reporters story will bring down the wrath of the ministry of national security, the fishermen take things into their own hands. From there, we go backward and forward in timefrom the towns early days, when it was the site of a sugar plantation, to Milagross adulthood as she searches for her mother across the Americas.
In between, through the voices of a chorus of narrators, we glimpse moments from various villagers lives, each one setting into motion events that will reverberate outwards across the novel and shape Milagross fate.
With kinetic, absorbing language and a powerful sense of voice, Ibis meditates on the bond between mothers and daughters, both highlighting the migrant crisis that troubles the contemporary world and offering a moving exploration of how to square where we come from with who we become.
