Mo Mozart, with her GP husband Jack and two youngchildren, moves from Crystal Palace to rural Norfolk inpursuit of the perfectly balanced lifestyle. Their idyllicfarmhouse, though, holds dark family secrets that date backdecades - to when Dottie Hammond moved from London tobecome a World War Two Land Girl on a farm surrounded byNorfolks RAF/USA Airbases.Mos happy country life starts to unravel when Jack is accusedof abusing a young patient and her daughter, Lily, develops animaginary friend from the 1940s. With help from both town andcountry friends, experiences of past and present and Dottieswartime diary, Mo exposes the unresolved events that havehaunted the village of Great Haddeston for seventy years. Inthe process she sorts out complex family issues that revolvearound Jacks adoption and his glamorous birth mother.Kindred Spirits is the second Mo Mozart book; the first isBlood and Water.Hugely impressed by Lucy McCarrahers prose, andby the diligence and erudition of both the plottingand research. Theres a strong sense throughout ofa writer who has truly engaged with her charactersand with the period. It was a pleasure to re-enter Mosworld - shes a very sympathetic character.Will Atkins, Macmillan New Writing
