Ripubblicato nella serie ORIGINALS di Penguin di narrativa per adolescenti iconica. Dopo la morte della madre di Shell, il padre ossessivamente religioso sprofonda nel lutto alcolico e Shell si ritrova a prendersi cura del fratello e della sorella più piccoli. La sua unica liberazione dalla durezza della vita quotidiana deriva dalla sua amicizia spirituale in erba con un giovane prete ingenuo e, cosa più importante, dalla sua relazione in via di sviluppo con l'amico d'infanzia, Declan, affascinante, eloquente e persuasivo. Ma quando Declan lascia improvvisamente l'Irlanda per cercare fortuna in America, Shell si ritrova incinta e al centro di uno scandalo che sconvolge la piccola comunità in cui vive, con ripercussioni in tutto il paese. La vita di coloro che le stanno immediatamente intorno non sarà mai più la stessa.

Siobhan Dowd lived in Oxford with her husband, Geoff, before tragically dying from cancer in August 2007, aged 47. She was both an extraordinary writer and an extraordinary person.
Siobhan's first novel, A Swift Pure Cry, won the Branford Boase Award and the Eilis Dillon Award and was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and Booktrust Teenage Prize. Her second novel, The London Eye Mystery, won the 2007 NASEN & TES Special Educational Needs Children's Book Award. In March 2008, the book was shortlisted for the prestigious Children's Books Ireland Bisto Awards. Siobhan's third novel, Bog Child, was the first book to be posthumously awarded the Carnegie Medal in 2008.
The award-winning novel A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness was based on an idea of Siobhan's. Her novella, The Ransom of Dond, was published in 2013, illustrated throughout by Pam Smy.
