Bone Music

We are ancient and brand new
Fifteen-year-old Sylvia, shy yet brave and rebellious, moves from Newcastle to wild Northumberland, feeling a stranger in the vast, seemingly empty landscape. But then she meets Gabriel, a strangely familiar boy. As they roam the woods and fells together, she sees nature with new eyes. Under a boundless starry sky, she connects intensely with the ancient past - all around her is the past, and at the same time it is deep within herself. From the wing of a dead buzzard, the two make a bone flute, the kind of instrument that once sounded mankind's first music. And Sylvia discovers what it really means to be young in today's world. A book that celebrates humanity and traces the deep connections between us and nature.
Breathtaking descriptions of a magical, unique world.
