Welcome to Shrublands Road, please follow the speed limit.

Meet Birdie Greenwing, determined and no-nonsense. Also, lonely and carrying secrets that only her beloved rescue dog knows about.

Ada Kowalski is lonely too. She came to England to help people, but she can't seem to help herself.

Jane and her daughter Frankie are new to the street, although Jane's cleaning-obsessive mother Min is never far away. Jane wishes she could be as outspoken as her daughter. What will it take for Jane to finally stand up to everyone?

One life-changing event brings Birdie, Ada and Jane together in ways they never imagined.

But is it ever too late to begin again?

For readers who loved the wit and emotional honesty of The Correspondent and the kindness-led community of Theo of Golden, Goodbye Birdie Greenwing is a funny, tender novel about grief, friendship and being truly seen. From the author of DOG DAYS.
