Eva Moves the Furniture

On the morning of Eva McEwen's birth, six magpies congregate in the apple tree outside the window - a bad omen, according to Scottish legend. That night, Eva's mother dies, leaving her to be raised by her aunt and heartsick father in their small Scottish town. As a child, Eva is often visited by two companions - a woman and a girl - invisible to everyone else save her. As she grows, their intentions become increasingly unclear: Do they wish to protect or harm her?

A magical novel about loneliness, love, and the profound connection between mother and daughter, Eva Moves the Furniture fuses the simplicity of a fairy tale with the complexity of adult passions.
