Outsiders sometimes see things other don't . . . and that can be dangerous.
A pair of emerald green and gold parrots have been disturbing the peace of Katherine Tennison's London garden for some time when a further disruption arrives at her door, in the form of dazzlingly beautiful Italian siblings Antonella and Matteo Fullardi.
Children of Katherine's old school friend Ann, who married an Italian leather-goods heir, the pair are now all grown up. Very rich, and very troubled, they prove a catalyst for a whole series of events which reveal the Tennisons' quiet family life to be less perfect than it initially seems . . .

Review:
ALEXANDRA SHULMAN has edited British Vogue since 1992. She is a contributor to The Times, Daily Mail, Guardian and Daily Telegraph and lives in London. This is her second novel; her first, Can We Still Be Friends, was published by Fig Tree in 2012.
Shulman skewers the everyday problems of family life with a beady eye for domestic detail. Daily Telegraph A self-assured and intense examination of a marriage under pressure. The Times Magazine A well-executed social satire Daily Mail Her prose buzzes with pitch-perfect modernity Observer A sparkling tale of seduction and suspense Tatler A real sense of menace pervades Good Housekeeping An incisive commentary on life in the capital today ... compelling ...her pared-down prose has all the clean, unobtrusive elegance of an Armani jacket. The Lady Sharply observed and surprisingly salty, this is an engrossing second novel from the editor of British Vogue. A Little Bird Kept me eagerly turning the pages way past bedtime ... would make a fine addition to your holiday reading list. Cultural Wednesdays

Book Description Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Outsiders see things others don't. Blessed with status, love, wealth and connections the Tennisons seemed the most enviable of families - until Antonella and Matteo Fullardi, dangerously attractive Italian siblings and offspring of an Italian fashion dynasty, enter their well-managed lives. Calligrapher Katherine, gallery owner Rick and their student son Josh discover that the Fullardis are just as unsettling and alluring as the exotic parrots that now inhabit their tranquil London garden. But this damaged pair are the catalyst that propel the Tennisons into a spiral of chaos, calling into question their place in a changing world of new money, new morality and new menace. 245 pages.
