It's the story of the three children who grow up there, and the adventures they create for themselves while the grown-ups entertain endless party guests: the worlds they imagine from books they aren't supposed to read, and the lessons they learn from eavesdropping through oak-panelled doors.

But as the children grow to adulthood, another story has been unfolding in the wings. And when the war finally takes centre stage, they find themselves cast, unrehearsed, into roles they never expected to play.They raised themselves on stories. Now it's time for them to write their own... 'One of those big chunky stories that swallows you whole' The Times'Beautifully compulsive ...The Whalebone Theatre will feel like a much-loved book even if you're reading it for the first time' Red Magazine
