"Flocking" loved this rich, vibrant story of love and forgiveness
While in town for her grandmother’s funeral, Anna Kate learns that in order to fully inherit her Granny Zee's Blackbird Café, she must run it for two months. Meanwhile, Natalie, a young widow and mother to a two year daughter, Ollie, has returned to the small, southern town where she grew up and where everybody knows everybody... and their business. Natalie doesn’t get along with her mother but has nowhere else to go. Besides being new to Wicklow, what else do the two women have in common? How will their lives intersect and intertwine?
Last but not least, there are also four and twenty rare blackbirds who live in a mulberry tree right outside the café. How do they play into the story? And is it true that the blackbird pie served at the cafe is magical and provides those who eat it with a special message from a deceased loved one?
"Under midnight skies, Blackbirds sing, Loving notes, Baked in pies, Under midnight skies."
I "flocking" LOVED this rich, vibrant, and charming story that touched on so many themes including love, grief, romance, forgiveness, and letting go of past hurts. This book left me craving sweet tea, sad to leave Wicklow's inhabitants, and yearning to taste blackbird pie in order to receive a message from my own dearly departed mother. The book's dedication definitely applies to me: "For everyone who wishes they could eat a piece of blackbird pie."
"A person you love is never truly gone—they're always there, whether it's in a memory... or a dream... or in a heart."
