| Shortlisted for the UK''s prestigious Orange Prize, this is a haunting coming-of-age novel with a love story at its heart. Without question one of the best debuts I''ve read in recent years.--John Boyne, author of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." |

Praise
"[T]his gracefully written novel takes unexpected turns through betrayal, loss, love and loss of innocence that will shock your emotions time and again, yet still retain a gentle sense of quiet." (starred review)
