Synopsis

En Hale, una pequeña isla de apenas cuatro kilómetros de largo y dos de ancho, ocurre una historia de amor inusual pero conmovedora. Caitlin, una adolescente de 15 años, hija de un escritor viudo y alcohólico, descubre que su apacible vida ha dado un vuelco tras conocer a Lucas, un enigmático joven extranjero que parece venir de ninguna parte. Conforme crecen los sentimientos de Caitlin por Lucas, aumentan también las sospechas sobre él, sobre todo cuando un anciano tropieza a la orilla de la playa con el cuerpo de una chica acuchillada. Este libro ganó el premio de literatura juvenil en Alemania en 2006.

"Brooks's second novel is an ambitious and intricately crafted tale of love and resurrection," wrote PW in a starred review. Ages 12-up. (Mar.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
