"Under the cries of owls" is a poignant story of the children of the Weir family, living in a small town in New Zealand in the mid-20th century. Thirteen-year-old Francie dreams of becoming an opera singer but is forced to drop out of school and get a job. Toby's life is overshadowed by epileptic seizures that frighten his sisters and those around him. The youngest, Teresa, tries to get rid of her childhood nickname, Chick. And Daphne's incredible imagination, who dreams of becoming a writer and sincerely believes in magic, condemns her to psychiatric treatment. Their coming of age is a series of emotional traumas, losses, isolation, but also examples of strength of spirit and emerging hope that even in the darkest moments of life, one can find light.
