A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This is an unusual book, which I would not necessarily have chosen for myself, but I am glad I was sent it. It concerns homeless Mel, nineteen, who steps into the Greenvale Shopping Centre looking for somewhere warm to spend a cold December day. She ends up living in a department store, and using the items in the place as though she has a right to them. The security guard notices her on the CCTV, and is fascinated by her and her actions. She is also noticed by the girl in the coffee shop, and a young man who works in the technology centre. The effect she has upon everyone she encounters is amazing, and the effect she had on me was also very powerful. There is plenty in this book to cover by reading groups: homelessness, the problems of technology, the ever present threat of terrorism, the far right and their outdated ideas about the rights of women. The story haunted my dreams for days afterwards. Sue Goult, New Books Magazine --New Books Magazine

Présentation de l'éditeur

When homeless 19-year-old Mel steps into the Greenvale Shopping Centre she s only looking for a warm place to spend a cold London December. But behind its glittering displays the Greenvale hides dark corridors and each person who crosses Mel's path is about to be drawn in. Mel's arrival sets in motion an unstoppable chain of events that will have a life-changing effect on anyone who gets close to her. There's no privacy in the Greenvale, where technology reveals everything except for the identity of who is watching who.
