About this Book

Print Excerpt


"It  takes ages to get there."

 "We'll all drive down together. It'll be fun." She nudges  me. "Hey, maybe one day they'll open an airport on the Roseland."

"That's never going to happen."

"Well  ... good." She tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. "We don't want to make it too easy, do we?"

"Then it wouldn't  be our  special  place." I say this  shamelessly,  to please her. And  it does.

"Exactly!" She grins  and  her eyes glint  from  green  to yellow, a leaf and its underside. Filled with  light again,  distance gone. "I always say to Daddy that  Black Rabbit Hall is the one still sane point in this mad , changing world.  It's our safe, happy  place, isn't it, Amber?"

I hesitate.  For some reason it feels as though everything rests on my answer.
