Paljude jaoks kehastasin muuti, olin koige imelisema legendi, muinasjutu vordkuju. Moned pidasid mind koletiseks. Mu suureks onnetuseks aeti mind kord segamini ingliga. Emale olin ma koik. Isale eikeegi. Vanaemale meenutasin iga paev ammu kaotatud armsamaid. Ent ma teadsin tode – sisimas teadsin seda kogu aeg. Ma olin lihtsalt tudruk. Mitu polvkonda Roux'sid on saanud valusa oppetunni. Traagiline armastus oleks nende eludesse otsekui sisse kirjutatud, maarates onnetu saatuse ka suguvosa noorimatele jareltulijatele, kaksikutele Ava ja Henry Lavenderile. Henry on suure osa lapsepolvest vait ja Ava – muidu igati normaalne tudruk – sundis linnutiibadega. Uritades moista oma isearalikku olemust ja kasvavat soovi eakaaslaste sekka sobituda, sukeldub 16-aastane Ava oma perekonna minevikku ja astub julgelt laia maailma. Kahjuks ei ole ta valmis avastusteks, mis teda seal ootavad, ega oska karta teiste kurje kavatsusi. Kevadel, mil Ava saab kuusteist, ei saja ainsatki vihmapiiska, kuni saabub suvise pooripaeva pidu. Sel ool paaseb taevas valla, ohku taidavad vihm ja suled ning Ava otsirannak ja perekonnasaaga jouavad sunge ja sudantlohestava haripunktini. *** Leslye Walton sundis Ameerika Uhendriikide kirdeosas Vaikse ookeani rannikul. Voib-olla just selle parast on tal lapsepolvest saati olnud eriline suhe nartsissidega – ka see lill jouab oma imelise iluni alles parast pikka ligunemist kulma vihma kaes. Esimese romaani jaoks sai Leslye inspiratsiooni uhel eriti tusasel paeval, kui ta kulma vihmatormi katte jaanuna motiskles loogika olemasolu – voi siis selle puudumise – ule armastuses. Kui Leslye parasjagu ei kirjuta, opetab ta pohikoolilapsi lugema ja kirjutama ning, mis eriti tahtis, kuidas olla uksteise vastu head, isegi neil paevil, kui selleks eriti tuju ei ole. Praegu tootab ta oma teise romaani kallal. *** See raamat on parlite parl.
