Starling can trap a rabbit, cook a meal from a hedge and hear a bailiff coming from a mile off. All she has ever known is a nomadic existence, travelling in a camper van with Mar, her strong-willed mother. But Mar has cut them off from their community, and this winter they' re stuck in deep mud in a wood, with no fuel, no money and no friends. One morning, without explanation, Mar leaves and doesn' t come back. Utterly alone, Starling must learn to survive without her mother and build a life on her own terms. An offer to stay with an old friend draws her into a more conventional way of living - but can rootless Starling ever find a place where she truly belongs?
Sarah Jane Butler lives in Sussex, where she enjoys growing vegetables, cycling, swimming in rivers and learning about local wildlife. Her short stories and poems (some published under the name SJ Butler) have appeared in literary journals and anthologies, and her story ' The Swimmer' was included in ' Best British Short Stories 2011' . She has twice won the 26 Project Writer' s Award, most recently in 2021 for her poem ' Flow' . As well as writing fiction, she is a professional copywriter and communications consultant. ' Starling' is her debut novel.
