Tuga je pernata stvar

Once upon a time, there was a crow who only wanted to take care of two children who had lost their mother… In a London flat, two boys are forced to face the unbearable grief of their mother’s sudden death. Their father, a Ted Hughes scholar and bohemian romantic, imagines a future filled with benevolent visitors and emptiness. In a moment of despair, the Crow – an antagonist, a mythical trickster, a healer, a nanny – arrives. This sentimental bird has been drawn to the grieving family and threatens to stay with them until they no longer need him. This extraordinary debut, full of unexpected wit and emotional accuracy, announces the arrival of an exciting, young and gifted writer who will soon mark contemporary British literature.
