This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer - the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, in a big, messy family, one teenager watches as brothers and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding. Enter the Goddens - irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there' s a serpent in this paradise - and the consequences will be devastating. From bestselling, award-winning author Meg Rosoff comes a lyrical and quintessential coming-of-age tale - a summer book that' s as heady, timeless and irresistible as Bonjour Tristesse and I Capture the Castle but as sharp and fresh as Normal People.
A wonderful, captivating writer * Daily Telegraph * Meg Rosoff has the gift of being able to talk to the reader with a directness that goes like an arrow to the heart * The Times * No one writes the way Rosoff does - as if she' s thrown away the rules. I love her fizzy honesty, her pluck, her way of untangling emotion through words * Daily Telegraph * It is only occasionally that a writer comes along with a voice so stridently pure and direct and funny that you simply can' t question it - you tumble willingly into its thrall -- Julie Myerson * Guardian * A wonderfully original voice * New Statesman * A magical and utterly faultless voice * Mark Haddon * Searingly well written, her books read like Samuel Beckett on Ecstasy * The Times * Like Ephron, Rosoff has a lightness of touch, and is also a clever comic writer: her dialogue is sharp, her characters keenly observed and ruthlessly well realised * The Sunday Times * The perfect read for an afternoon by the sea * NetGalley user * An irresistible summer read * NetGalley reviewer * I have never connected with a book so quickly. The atmosphere and the heady setting of summer and nostalgic longing was enticing from the first page. . . my heart was swept away with this book * NetGalley reviewer * I genuinely couldn' t put it down * NetGalley reviewer * A thoroughly captivating read that reels you in and won' t let you go * NetGalley Reviewer *
Meg Rossoff is the author of six young adult novels including the best-selling How I Live Now. She is the winner of the Carnegie Medal, the Printz Award, the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis, an Alex Award and the coveted Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.
