At Eva McEwen's birth, six magpies congregate outside the window - a bad omen. That night her mother dies, leaving her with her aunt, her father - and a woman and a girl no one else can see. As she grows older these figures have a profound effect on her.

Condición: Very Good. In a departure from her psychological tales full of menacing undercurrents (Homework, The Missing World), Livesey's latest outing is a deceptively sim ple coming-of-age story set in small-town Scotland between the wars. Eva Mc Ewen, whose mother dies in childbirth, is lovingly raised by her father and aunt. What sets this ordinary tale slightly off kilter is the presence in Eva's life of two ghosts ("the companions," as she refers to them) a girl a nd a woman whom, she realizes very early on, only she can see. Although it is clear that the companions are there more for her protection than to caus e harm, they seem capable of manipulating events in her life. From Eva's bu colic childhood through young adulthood, working first as an office girl an d later as a wartime nurse, from a failed romance to a happy marriage and m otherhood, her angel/ghosts are never far away, helping to steer her. But, in the end, as they repeatedly warn her, they are unable to change the cour se of her history. While it may take some Livesey fans by surprise, this lo vely, bittersweet novel should find a warm place in their hearts. Nº de ref. del artículo: RWARE0000008181
