The Birdcage

Reviews / Votes

Eve Chase does it again! The Birdcage is glorious; a bittersweet, beautifully written, slow burn family drama with a killer kick in the closing chapters. I loved every word of it -- Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of <i>The Night She Disappeared</i> Eve Chase is one of my favourite authors and I fell in love with The Birdcage. A gorgeously written, atmospheric and twisty story of sisters and secrets set on the Cornish coast. Eve Chase's books never fail to make me cry. I devoured it! -- Claire Douglas, bestselling author of <i>The Couple at No. 9</i> Eve Chase never disappoints. The far west of Cornwall is evoked in all its wild and mystical glory in this lyrical and propulsive family drama about three sisters whose lives have been overshadowed by a tragic secret on the eve of the 1999 eclipse. Chase conjures up a bohemian, artistic world filled with damaged daughters and their charismatic, largely absent and narcissistic father. Immersive, tense and ultimately redemptive, while I was reading, it held me completely in its grip. -- Sarah Vaughan, bestselling author of <i>Anatomy of a Scandal</i> Atmospheric and twisty: think Daphne Du Maurier for the modern day * Sunday Telegraph * I loved it . . . engrossing, gripping and layered -- Gillian McAllister, bestselling author of <i>That Night</i> Atmospheric and beautifully written. I absolutely loved it. -- Jane Fallon, bestselling author of <i>Worst Idea Ever</i> Beautiful, page-turning, with believable characters you root for, this will sweep you away. I loved it -- Katie Fforde, bestselling author of <i>Wedding Season</i> I loved this atmospheric story about families and secrets * Prima * The Birdcage is a show-stopping novel - beautifully written and atmospheric, with a cast of fascinating, brilliantly realised characters whose story kept me absolutely gripped. Eve Chase has an extraordinary talent - she's one of the only writers I would drop anything for -- Rosie Walsh, bestselling author of <i>The Man Who Didn't Call</i> A beautifully written-mystery in an evocative Cornish setting at the time of the eclipse. Stunning -- Catherine Cooper, bestselling author of <i>The Chalet</i>
