My Review:-Amy is a twelve-year-old girl that has had a tragic event in her life and she has been sent to live with her Aunt Wilhelmina at the Manor. Amy isn't bothered where she gets sent to, she has blocked everything out, she has withdrawn into herself and stopped talking, hoping to block out the pain and the memories. After a while things in the house start to intrigue her. Even after being warned off by her Aunt, Amy still what's to know more. It's not long before Amy discovers the butterflies, each one different from the other and have their own special magic. The author has wrote this story in a way that draws you in and you feel as if you are with Amy walking through the house. This is a beautiful story about grief, love, patience, understanding and acceptance of loss.
