The story begins with Clare Burke who spent three years in prison. She ended up there because she was defending her sister, Anne, from her abusive husband. But as often happens in such situations Anne was not able to tell the truth and she went along with her husband's story and Clare goes to prison for a couple of years. Clare doesn't hate her sister and wants to be part of her life. But by now Frederik has taken his family back to Norway and shut the door completely on Clare. Eighteen years later Clare's niece, Grit, shows up on her doorstep. Slowly Clare learns the sad story of Anne's life. There is a side story about Clare, her former fiance, Paul, and the birds that they track. I have to say I really wasn't crazy about any of the characters but I was entertained enough to finish the book.
