Book description
'...stunning... Disher is brilliant'
Sydney Morning Herald
We always hurt the ones we love...
When Louis's parents decide to move from the city to a small coastal
town, Louis finds himself at odds with everything around him. He's an
outsider at school where he's at the mercy of the two school bullies,
and misses the city and his friends. The only person he can talk to is
the 'windmill man', Mr Chatters.
Then Mr Chatters' niece, Tilly, arrives in town and, unexpectedly, Louis
discovers he has much in common with her. But are the rumours
surrounding Tilly true? Instead of relying on his own judgement, Louis
listens to the gossip around him…
A gentle and moving story by the author of The Apostle Bird
and Moondyne Kate
