2000s: Some secrets need to be set free . . .
The Birdcage
What you need to know before your trail
Twenty years after their last visit, half-sisters Lauren, Kat and Flore are summoned to Rock Point: the beautiful and windswept cliff house where they sat for their father’s most famous painting, Girls and Birdcage.
But what should be a joyous return is darkened by memories of the catastrophic events of a summer twenty years before.
Because when the sisters arrive, it is clear that someone is determined not to let the past lie.
Someone who is watching their every move.
Who remembers the girls in the painting, and what they did . . .

Cornwall
The settung of the novel and house, Rock Point, is clearly Cornwall but the exact setting is never really mentioned. It is close to Newquay and Zennor though.
Rock Point is the name of the house at the centre of the story.
“Rock Point isn’t quite the elegant Victorian villa she remembers; more a lonely old house that’s been swept against the ricks, quite possibly with its tenants skeletonized within. Yellow light thrown down by the windows bores across the rive and the wind-gnarled cypress to the ricky edge of the raised bank. Beyond that, it vanishes over the cliff edge, into the velvety dark. As might a young child. You wouldn’t hear the scream.”
