A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sammy is a spiky, quick-witted and sharp teenager living in Dublin; Nico is a warm and conscientious girl from Moldova. When they are thrown together in a Dublin brothel in a horrific twist of fate, a peculiar and important bond is formed . . . This is a novel about a flourishing but hidden world, thinly concealed beneath a veneer of normality. It's about the failings of polite society, the cruelty that can exist in apparently homely surroundings, the bluster of youth and the often appalling weakness of adults. Harvesting is heartbreaking and funny, gritty, raw and breathtakingly beautiful, where redemption is found in friendship and unexpected acts of kindness. Harvesting was inspired by Harding's involvement with a campaign against sex trafficking run by the Children's Rights Alliance. Although it is a fictionalised account, the text has been read and approved of by representatives for NGOs in both Moldova and Dublin.

Revue de presse

This is one of the most gut-wrenching, shiver-inducing pieces of fiction I have ever read.The word compelling is too hackneyed when it comes to a novel such as this. Each line is gripping: mind and body are hooked into a world you don t want to know exists, but which thrives under our very noses... electrifying. --Sunday Independent

A terrific piece of work ... engaging and darkly compelling. --Catherine Dunne

A brilliantly written, heartfelt, heart-breaking tale of two young girls, its lucid breadth and depths read like an indictment of our patriarchal globe. --Anthony Glavin
