All the time Mum was away,
Eleven long years,
I saved up my hopes
Like little pennies in a jar.

Apple's mother disappeared years ago, leaving Apple with her nana and a lot of unanswered questions. But when she unexpectedly explodes back into Apple's life like a comet, homecoming is bittersweet. It's only when Apple meets someone more lost than she is that she begins to see things as they really are.

This beautiful novel from multi-award-winning author Sarah Crossan explores family, friendship and reconciliation. It is a story about how messy, complicated and surprising love can be.

Recensioni della critica

This poignant, realistic tale is about learning to love and taking responsibility, and how poems can tell the truth …
A story of the redeeming power of love. It's beautifully written and it made me cry but it also made me laugh
Poignant, powerful, just perfect
Succinct, with a gentle lyricism, the poems are telling about immigration, prejudice, self-delusion, families and first love, on the way to a life-changing conclusion
Exquistely and touchingly written
