Pieces
Sian Owen's modern fairy tale explores heart break and the healing power of love, with a little magic along the way. Two sisters discover that their lives are deeply intertwined.
When the sisters were little, Ellie believed that Jess would save her if she was wearing her Superman cloak. Now that they are grown up life is not so simple. Ellie is a successful heart surgeon. Jess has a job and a husband and child. They don't always manage to keep in touch. When Ellie's own heart actually splinters, Jess is summoned as the person most likely to know how to mend her. She has to rummage in Ellie's life to find the pieces that will fill the holes left by love, grief and hiraeth. In the process Jess discovers some of Ellie's secrets and gains an understanding of all the ways in which they are indelibly connected to each other.
Sian Owen's modern fairy tale explores the healing power of love and magic.
