Nora and the Garden of Small Voices

*whooo*

The first thing Nora noticed about her new home was that the kitchen window whistled.

Whenever the wind blew from the orchard, it made a tiny *whooo*, like an owl trying not to wake anyone.

Nora liked that sound.

She did not yet know whether she liked the yellow curtains, the ticking clock, or the woman setting two bowls of porridge on the table.

“I’m Rose,” the woman said gently. “You can sit wherever you feel comfortable.”

Nora chose the chair nearest the window.
