The Nest was the best thing my dad ever built, and he built it for me. He built it when we moved into the new house – him, me and Mum. I thought it was wonderful. Outrageous. But then Dad went there to hide from the world, and from Mum, and everything started to go wrong…
When a man returns to his childhood home and visits the derelict tree house in which his father once chose to live, he recalls the past unravelling of his family, the unspoken strangeness of their lives, and the impact on his own adult life. Beautiful, sparse and insightful storytelling.
An utterly stunning, powerful and unforgettable novella by the much-missed Mal Peet, brought to life with sensitive illustrations by Greenaway-longlisted artist Emma Shoard.
