  A Snake and a Feathered Bird

  Angie Ellis

  This historical coming-of-age novel moves back and forth in time in the late 19th century, from one point of view to another, focusing mainly on the story of Ben, adopted and raised by a violent whisky dealer and a warm but beaten-down woman, befriended by his more prosperous neighbours, and tasked with delivering an inheritance to Lily, his father’s niece. Ben needs to find out about his birth mother and who he really is before he can claim his place in the world.
