Review
`Ewing does a fantastic job of making us feel like children again - not carefree, but lost in a confusing world replete with dangers over which we have little control' Guardian`An amazing book of courage and survival ... a book about memory, friendship and hope. It's the kind of book that made me want to wake my children from their beds, just to kiss them and whisper that I love them. A tremendous novel - I absolutely loved it' Claire Fuller, author of Our Endless Numbered Days`Ewing succeeds brilliantly. Be warned: you'll feel well and truly wrung-out after reading this, but you'll also hold your loved ones that little bit closer' The Scotsman`A beautiful, heartwarming story of survival and strength . . . an original piece of work, one which grips the reader to the very end' The Press and Journal
