All the Little Bird-Hearts

Victoria Lloyd-Barlow - 2023

Overview

Sunday Forrester lives a meticulously ordered life with her teenage daughter, Dolly. Her routines include adhering to specific food colors on quiet days and consulting an etiquette handbook for social navigation. Escape comes from a treasury of Sicilian folklore. However, Dolly, on the verge of leaving home, remains beyond her mother’s control. The arrival of neighbors Vita and Rollo disrupts Sunday's carefully constructed world. Their charm disarms her, and they begin to challenge her established rules. Sunday finds herself feeling loved and accepted, but a darker motive lies beneath Vita and Rollo's facade, as Vita desires a daughter of her own.
