Flamingo

Rachel Elliott

A novel of love homelessness and learning to be fearless

In 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.
