It was Felix who
first called it
The Birdcage -
that strange and
quirky household
in Bristol with
its close,
loving women
including the
superbly
flamboyant
Angel. Angel's
daughter Lizzie
had loved living
there as a child
- and she had
also loved
Felix, the
nearest she had
to a father,
whose loyalties
had been
strained to the
limit by his
deeply jealous
wife Marina.
Lizzie was
always aware
that Felix had
another life at
beautiful,
mellow
Michaelgarth,
the family home
on the edge of
Exmoor where he
tried to bring
up his son Piers
in a loving and
peaceful
environment.
When Lizzie,
many years
later, comes at
last to
Michaelgarth and
meets Piers for
the first time,
she finds a
family which is
in trouble - and
which,
miraculously,
needs her to
help them to
heal. |

up for herself? Bobby,

with his father who
blames him for the

together was a disaster,
but circumstances
change. Can the family
turn things around and
finally put the past
behind them as they
prepare for another
family gathering? |
