I Am Twig, Bone, Feather: a memoir in fragments - Paperback

by Angie Athanassiades (Author)

"Fiercely beautiful... cracks open the darkness and pain of sexual assault to reveal light, hope and a sense of freedom." Samantha Clark, author of The Clearing

On a remote Mediterranean island, a woman begins to unearth a long-buried memory. As migrating birds sweep across the sky and marine archaeologists dive into dark waters to recover the remnants of an ancient shipwreck, she, too, descends into her past-retracing an event that once threatened to break her.

But this time, she is neither afraid nor alone. The island's treeless slopes and its vast horizons of sea and sky become a refuge where she can finally breathe. And the birds, in their tireless passage from one world to another, reveal a simple truth: return is always possible-if she can find the courage to begin.
