Secrets, romance, murder and lies: Zoe shares a terrible secret in a letter to a stranger on death row in this prize-winning second novel from the bestselling author of the debut, MY SISTER LIVES ON THE MANTELPIECE.
Annabel Pitcher studied English at Oxford and has since worked as a script writer and an English teacher. She lives in Yorkshire with her husband. MY SISTER LIVES ON THE MANTELPIECE was her first novel. She is a full-time writer.
It's a moving and ultimately highly compassionate tale. To be human
is to err, after all.
*Martin Chilton, THE TELEGRAPH*
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for an
invigorating, coming-of-age book. The young adult category can
often come off as whiney and "woe is me" but this book proves that
that is not always the case, even when the main character does have
a lot to whine about. There are good authors of every genre if you
just know where to look and Annabel Pitcher is one of them.
*THE GUARDIAN*
Annabel Pitcher presents a harrowing tale of a girl learning to
deal with love, family, remorse and grief. Through a mixture of her
hilarious, sweet and honest confessions, Zoe comes to life on the
page.
*TEENREADS*
Blending powerful emotion and darkness with ironic humour, it is a
gripping and moving story about secrets, lies and growing up.
Sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes wistful, often funny and always
compassionate, this is a beautifully-crafted and unexpected
coming-of-age story that will win readers' hearts.
*BOOKTRUST*
This is a clever, multi-layered book. It's heartstoppingly sweet,
very sad, and very, very real. Everyone should take notes on how to
write a love story from this gorgeous novel because I believed
every word. And, of course, I cried.
Highly recommended.
