RELEASE NOTES:

Sent to the winner of the Girlie Bookswap game on BCUK.

Received today - thank you!

Following the loss of her mother, eight year-old Evie is sent to a new life in rural Wales - a dripping place, where flowers appear mysteriously on doorstpes and people look at her twice. With a sense of being lied to, she sets out to discover her family's dark secret - unaware that when a local girl vanishes, there is yet more darkness to come.

Now, years on as Eve Green awaits the birth of her own child, she remembers that first Welsh summer - her lies, her anger, her own reckless role in the hunt for Rosie's abductor; and how, through her suppressed grief and strange friendships, she learnt some hard lessons - about trust, identity, guilt, love, and how to survive when love is gone.


I'm not sure what I made of this - it certainly wasn't what I expected. There seemed to be lots of different threads in the story but none of them really tied up. Having finished it, I'm still unsure as to what was really going on!

Sending to Morsecode from a book swap.

This book arrived safe and sound in Buffalo, NY today.

I wanted it so much that I actually tried to get it in a second swap... lol

Left on the “take a book, leave a book” shelf.
