Dalla quarta di copertina

Miss Hayes has a new theory. She thinks my condition's caused by some traumatic incident from my past I keep deep-rooted in my mind. As soon as I come clean I'll flood out all these tears and it'll all be ok and I won't be scared of Them anymore. The truth is I can't think of any single traumatic childhood incident to tell her. It's Them. I'm just scared of Them. It's that simple.

[in a different colour/font]

This is a book about phobias and obsessions, isolation and dark corners. It's about families, friendships, and carefully preserved secrets. But above everything else it's about love. Finding love - in any of its forms - and nurturing it.

[quotes can be placed around the blurb, not nec. just at the bottom]

'A powerful novel' Closer

'This is a novel about loneliness, and Rice vividly evokes the isolation of all those trapped inside the need to present a socially valid exterior . . . an oddly uplifting novel' Guardian

'One of the most stunning debuts I've read in a long time. The talent behind it is huge.' Helen Walsh, author of The Lemon Grove
