As Happy as Here
Tietoa tästä e-kirjasta
A beautiful coming-of-age story about identity, expectation, class, justice, society, fairness, and, above all, kindness.
'Fresh insights into friendship and family are spun through tangents into chance and randomness ... and music and its power to trigger memory and give a rhythm and pace to life. Injured Evie, in particular, learns how to grow and walk away stronger.' - Weekend Australian
'Such a richly delicious read and I wanted it never to end ... I am a true fan' - Naomi Shihab Nye
**Contains BONUS extract from Jane Godwin's newest novel, WHEN RAIN TURNS TO SNOW**
