Malaya, 1942. Nisha's home is destroyed by war
and she and her mother, Amma, flee to her father's ancestral house
in England, perched on a cliff top on the cold Northern coast.

When Amma falls gravely ill, Nisha is left to face her formidable
grandmother alone. Grandmother's rules are countless, and her
Anglo-Indian granddaughter is even forbidden from climbing the old
weeping tree.

But when a ghost child beckons Nisha to sit under its boughs,
and promises her Amma's life in return for three truths, its pull
proves irresistible ...

• A thrilling historical ghost story; full of adventure,
  grief, guilt, forgiveness and belonging

• A fresh angle on a wartime story: the prejudice Nisha
  faces as a refugee feels particularly relevant today

• Perfect for fans of Frances Hardinge and Emma Carroll
