On the top of the hill, overlooking the sea, that's where you'll find a magical place... To Bea and Raffy, Ravenwood is home. In its own way, the house rescued them, even if it did have a fallen-down tree taking up most of the kitchen. So the idea that it could be sold. Demolished even. Well, that's unthinkable.

Citazioni

He [Nick] had been a late sleeper when his wife was alive, and she the early riser. "It's like the world's a gift, every single day," she used to tell him, and turned out she was right. It was the loneliness that got him since she was gone. The endless summer days, the long winter nights. They'd never talked much, him and Nell. Never had to, because they each always knew what the other was thinking. Nick didn't have friends, as such. Nell had been the one to get on with people, he was too shy. If it hadn't been for Ravenwood, these last years, he didn't know how he would have coped. (p. 270-71)

Above them, oblivious to the danger which had so nearly befallen it, the nuthatch bashed an acorn on a branch, while in the cove, with no one watching, a solitary seal swam beneath the calling ravens.
