Book Review
'Assured, powerful, engaging. . . you will want to read everything that Rosoff is capable of writing. Timeless'
Observer
Fifteen-year-old New Yorker Daisy thinks she knows all about love. Her mother died giving birth to her and now her dad has sent her away for the summer, to live in the english countryside with cousins she's never even met.
There she'll discover what real love is: something violent, mysterious and wonderful. There her world will be turned upside down and a perfect summer will explode into a million bewildering pieces.
how will Daisy live then?
'Remarkable, outstanding. The authentic voice of adolescent indifference. As a commentary on contemporary problems, as a superb story of love and war'
The Times
'A piece of writing that should last for generations. . . you tumble willingly into its thrall. A story about the only thing worth writing about: enduring love. I put it down with tears on my face'
Julie Myerson, Guardian
'A wonderfully original voice'
Artemis Cooper, Mail on Sunday
