A novel of love, homelessness, and learning to be fearlessIn the garden, there were three flamingos. Not real flamingos, but real emblems, real gateways to a time when life was impossibly good. They were mascots, symbols of hope. Something for a boy to confide in. First, there were the flamingos. And then there were two families. Sherry and Leslie and their daughters, Rae and Pauline - and Eve and her son Daniel. Sherry loves her husband, Leslie. She also loves Eve. It couldn' t have been a happier summer. But then Eve left and everything went grey. Now Daniel is all grown-up and broken. And when he turns up at Sherry' s door, it' s almost as if they' ve all come home again. But there' s still one missing. Where is Eve? And what, exactly, is her story? FLAMINGO is a novel about the power of love, welcome and acceptance. It' s a celebration of kindness, of tenderness. Set in 2018 and the 80s, it' s a song for the broken-hearted and the big-hearted, and is, ultimately, a novel grown from gratitude, and a book full of wild hope.
Rachel Elliott is the author of WHISPERS THROUGH A MEGAPHONE, long-listed for the Women' s Prize for Fiction 2016 and DO NOT FEED THE BEAR. She is also a psychotherapist, and lives in Bath.
