The blackbirds come to the mulberry trees at night, and they sing if a member of the callow family bakes the pies, and bakes them right. And if you eat a piece of pie, you dream of dead loved ones. Oh, and there's a random car who turns up now and again and leads people where they need to go.
It's nonsense of course, but the author makes it believable, and weaves the legend in with the story of a family, and forgiveness, and coming home, and understanding.
Sweet as sugar, but not cloying. A lovely read.
And the southern accents in the audio version are just perfect (at least to my English ears.)
