Über diesen Titel

Críticas

A wonderful first novel * Christopher Hart, Daily Telegraph * Beautifully evoked ... Cowan writes with a deceptive simplicity * Amanda Craig, The Times * [A] wholly satisfying book, quietly beautiful and inescapably ominous * David Buckley, Observer * The detail is immaculately recorded; the effect is heartbreaking * Louisa Young, Sunday Times * A first novel of extraordinary poise and accomplishment, treating a boy's coming of age amid the squalid realities of the new British underclass with a delicacy and lyricism which is both gripping and moving * Michael Dibdin * Cowan's writing is reminiscent of Roddy Doyle's in his ability to recreate the intense emotions of youth. * The Good Book Guide * A coming-of-age story as strange and surprising, in its way, as THE CATCHER IN THE RYE * New York Times *

Reseña del editor

When his grandmother dies, and his grandfather is removed to a home, fifteen-year-old Danny determines to look after their elderly pig and ramshackle garden. Here, on the ragged edge of a blighted new town, Danny and his Indian girlfriend Surinder create a fragile haven from the enclosing world of racist neighbours and stifling families, a summer's refuge from the precariousness of their future.
