Su questo libro

Recensione:

Some books stay with you long after you've finished them and Reid's debut is one of them. It is a moving, gripping story (The Sun)

Emotive, sometimes shocking story (The Sunday Times)

Yes, yes, yes! God, this sounds absolutely wonderful (Bidisha, The Guardian)

Stunning, shocking, sad and incredibly touching. We are pretty sure you will read it in one sitting then want to share the book with someone else (LoveReading)

We read this in one sitting. ***** (Teen Now)
