' Cecilia Knapp is a rare, rare talent. The sort of writer you get excited to have found and then look forward to devouring more of their work. This book in particular is a work of craft, heart and beauty and I envy new readers their first opportunity to meet these characters and spend time in this world' KERRY HUDSON A story of sacrifice, violence and growing up different - told against the heat and claustrophobia of a seaside city in summer. After Matthew' s grandfather dies suddenly, four friends struggle to face the trauma of their pasts in the wake of this fresh tragedy. Leah and Jay, a couple since their school days, find their relationship tested, while Nathan deals with a vast and unrequited love, and Matthew grapples with his sexuality. In the days that follow, Matthew begins to unearth his grandfather' s past. He finds a different life, full of secrets, and discovers that he and his grandfather may have had more in common than he once thought. Little Boxes is a coming-of-age story about friendship and love, loss and survival.
