A Curious Matter of Men with Wings

A CURIOUS MATTER OF MEN WITH WINGS is the story of the Walpole family who fled their sordid past and escaped to one of the nearly 2,000 uninhabited sea islands off the Carolina coast. The novel opens with the two Walpole boys, Bohicket and Ley, taking their little sister out on their johnboat for the first time to pirate the waterways for beer and loose change. In the process, their little sister goes overboard and appears to have drowned, until two men with gigantic wings swoop down and carry her body away into the sky. The news of her disappearance hits the family particularly hard, and their mother goes so far as to fashion herself wings and tries to fly. The Walpole boys set off in search of their little sister and, in the process, discover love and the truth behind the centuries-old tale of the Flying Men as well as numerous other mysteries native to the Carolina sea islands.
