Gwenni Morgan is not like any other girl in her small Welsh town. Inquisitive, bookish and full of spirit, she can

be asking the right questions, Gwenni decides to conduct her own investigation.
Mari Strachan's unforgettable novel was one of the most acclaimed and successful debuts of 2009. It is a heartbreaking and hugely enjoyable book.
