The woman with wings

not applicable

James MacManus ; narrated by Sophie Roberts

Alison Spedding is a loner; no real friends, no boyfriend and a job in which she goes unnoticed. At 32, her only passion is birdwatching. One afternoon, high on a Scottish mountain, earnestly waiting for the rarest of sights - a white tailed eagle returning to its nest - she slips, falling silently. In shock, her fellow twitchers return to the hostel to raise the alarm, heavy with the realisation that she must be dead. What they find shocks them even more. Alison is already there, alive and unscathed. Further similar episodes cause Alison's grip on reality to slip, her mind spiralling towards breaking point. In her dreams she sees a huge shadow on the ground, as if there was a creature above her, a creature with huge wings. Her infatuated colleague Jed is concerned. Can he intervene before Alison finally loses control?
