The owl service

See all formats and editions

After hearing scratches in the attic, Alison discovers a dinner service covered in an intriguing floral owl pattern, and a series of events are set in motion that will change her life forever.

Alison, her step-brother Roger and Welsh boy Gwyn are forced into a cyclical replay of the tragic Welsh legend of Blodeuwedd, in which a woman is turned into an owl as a punishment for betraying her husband. "The Owl Service" is a fabulous, multi-layered book of mystery and suspense, but also a contemporary musing on love, class structure and power.
