Morgan McCarthy je autorkou, ktorej dielo sa sústreďuje na hlboké skúmanie ľudskej skúsenosti. Jej písanie sa vyznačuje prenikavým vhľadom do psychológie postáv a komplexných medziľudských vzťahov. Čitatelia oceňujú jej schopnosť vykresliť jemné nuansy emócií a životných zvratov s mimoriadnou citlivosťou a hĺbkou. McCarthy sa zameriava na témy, ktoré rezonujú s univerzálnymi pravdami o láske, strate a hľadaní zmyslu.


House of Birds is a delightful, engaging read that explores the various ways in which we come to know our essential selves Virginia Baily, author of EARLY ONE MORNING
Jonathan and Theo's childhood is one in which money is abundant but nurture is scarce. With a father who died when they were very young and a mother who starts drinking at lunchtime, the brother and sister are largely left to roam around their sprawling estate in rural Wales, looking after only themselves and each other. Until, that is, their grandmother Eve returns to the family home. Eve is a figure who is as enchanting as she is forbidding, and she takes the children under her wing, answering their questions about their family history that have always been ignored. Yet as they grow older, they discover that much of what they've been told is a fiction, and that something very sinister lies in their past.
