The Last of the Pelican Daughters

In folklore, pelican mothers feed their young on their own blood. In 2019, four sisters are trying to divide their mother’s house between them.

​Joy wants a baby, Storm wants to be seen, Sage wants to be paid and Maya doesn’t want anyone to find out her secret. Mum’s presence still seeps through the ceiling and the floors. The Pelican Daughters are home for the last time.

It’s May 1997. Tony Blair has won the election and Katrina and the Waves have won Eurovision. Channel 5 is a month old. No one knows who Harry Potter is. Britain is the coolest place in the world.

​At the local secondary school it’s a different story. Miss Belltop-Doyle can’t control her year 10s, Mr Pashley has been put in charge of a confiscated tamagotchi and Miss Turner is hoping that this muck-up day goes smoother than the last. Tobias, the German language assistant, watches on. Things can only get better.
