A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It's the start of the summer holidays, and two young girls have gone missing from a small seaside town. 14 year old Janie often daydreams to escape the lonely reality of her dysfunctional, motherless family and her hostile peers - but when the girls disappear from her local beach, her fantasies become obsession. While tourists and television crews swarm the town, she begins a search of her own, unaware that it will lead her into a disturbing adult world where nothing is quite as it seems.

As the media hysteria continues, and tensions within the family increase, her search begins to raise other, deeper questions concerning the disappearance of her own mother eleven years ago. Precocious, unguided, and overwhelmed, Janie finally penetrates her family's silence to unearth a heartbreaking secret of loss and abuse that lies far closer to home.

Marking a compelling debut novel, this contemporary story is fired with suspense and emotion as Taylor's richly visual prose paints the trauma and longing of a gifted teenage girl who is desperate to make sense of her self and her life.

Revue de presse

"Taylor writes beautiful, intense prose, richly evocative and with a strong appeal to the senses that's as vivid as it is tactile ... Recommended." --Nicholas Royle, Time Out
"Grips all the way." --Nottingham Evening Post
"An exceedingly intense book [written] in rich, highly sensual prose. I read it in one sitting, staying up far too late to finish it. Utterly gripping. It comes highly recommended." --4.5/5 and a 'Hot Pick'.
