From the Back Cover:
Synopsis:
Calypso tucked her knees together and hooked her hands round her shins. Other people, she had begun to learn, had dreams that stayed dreams. They were lucky, those people. Her dreams always came true.
The isle of Sweetholm seems like the perfect retreat. A haven for wildlife, its near-isolation means it is just too far away from the mainland to attract the hordes of daytrippers that swarm to the beach at the first sign of summer. Tansy, in particular, is looking forward to spending the holidays there. It's a chance for her parents to make peace with each other. A chance to escape the mess back home in Bristol, where her experiments in magic went so horribly wrong.
But troubles cannot be so easily outrun, for beneath Sweetholm's idyllic exterior seethes a darker heart. Key to the events that unfold is Calypso, a strange child who lives on the island. Her prophetic dreams have power – but will anybody dare to understand the truth?
Sweetholm is a small island sheltering in the Bristol channel, best known for its colonies of seabirds and seals and the picturesque ruins of St Brigan's Priory. When Geoff and Hilary Robinson are offered the opportunity to caretake a house there for the summer, they see it as a perfect opportunity to work at patching up their marriage. Their teenage daughter Tansy also welcomes it as a chance to put behind her her unnerving and unsuccessful experiments in magic in Bristol. But troubles cannot be so easily outrun and Sweetholm is not the idyllic retreat is apears to be. It is one of the 'frayed places of the world' where the line between ordinary life and ancient magic has become wafer thin. And key to these events is Calypso herself-a strange child whose round lidless eyes and webbed feet hint at her ancestry. Her prophetic dreams have power - but will anybody dare to understand the truth?
