| 1940, a wounded snow goose is brought by a young orphan to be healed by a reclusive hunchback living in an abandoned lighthouse in the Essex marshes. When Autumn comes the bird migrates. Will it return? A modern parable about the power of goodness and love in a time of war. As moving now as when it was published the year after Dunkirk. (Jenny Baker - bwl 118 Autumn 2025 )
