Blackbird House. A historical epic from the author of Practical Magic

Discover the story of Blackbird House, its inhabitants, and the ghosts that haunt the land, from 1778 to the present day. In 1778 when John Hadley and his sons slip the British blockade off the coast of Massachusetts and disappear at sea. The wooden farmhouse they leave behind will outlive them, drawing generations of dreamers and lost souls into its story. A century later, Violet encounters a ghostly blackbird and a book once treasured by young Isaac Hadley.
Larkin Howard would sell his soul to own the farm, while a boy glimpses something he shouldn't on a snowy night. And behind the house, a dark pond hides beneath deceptively golden lilies. As decades become centuries, secrets, tragedies and restless spirits accumulate within Blackbird House. By the time summer visitors begin to transform the countryside, the old farmhouse can barely contain its ghosts.'Romantic, funny and clever and humane' The Times
