Publisher's Synopsis
One night, George Duncan - a decent man, a good man - is woken by a noise in his garden. Impossibly, a great white crane has tumbled to earth, an arrow shot through its wing. Unexpectedly moved, George helps the bird, and from the moment he watches it fly off his life is transformed. The next day, an enigmatic but kind woman walks into George's shop. Suddenly an extraordinary new world opens up for George - but no love ever comes without risk... Wise, romantic, magical and funny, THE CRANE WIFE is a hymn to the creative imagination and a celebration of the disruptive and redemptive power of love.
