Présentation de l'éditeur :
If I had the choice - know or not to know? - I'd have to choose knowing. It must always be better to know, mustn't it?
When Heidigran comes to live with the Craig family, her granddaughter Hilly finds herself becoming increasingly involved with events buried deep in the past. Secrets are slowly unveiled as Heidigran becomes confused and ill. Her curious reaction to Hilly's playing of Fur Elise and the discovery of a stray photograph lead to revelations that rock the stability of the entire family.
From the acclaimed author of The Shell House comes an evocative and compassionate portrayal of one family's history, and the effect it has on those around them. Only a writer of Linda Newbery's originality and grace could approach such a provocative subject from so unusual an angle, and with such a combination of sensitivity and power.
Sisterland is Linda Newbery's second novel for David Fickling Books. Her first, The Shell House, was shortlisted for the Guardian Fiction Award in 2002.
She is the author of over twenty books for children and young adults, and lives in Northamptonshire with her husband and three cats.
When Hilly’s grandmother becomes ill with Alzheimer’s disease, her family is turned upside down by revelations from her life during World War II.
Hilly’s German grandmother, HeidiGran, comes to live with her family after she gets Alzheimer’s disease. As her mind becomes more muddled, secrets buried in her past start to emerge. Why does HeidiGran keep talking about a girl named Rachel? And why does she make racist remarks about Hilly’s friend, Ruben? As Hilly struggles to cope with revelations about her family’s past, she encounters racism and prejudice for herself when a friend becomes the victim of a mindless attack.
This evocative and deftly told novel explores prejudice and its effects on multiple generations in one family.
