Review "There are plenty of graphic, but beautifully wrought sex scenes in this book about a queer teen trying to find some freedom for himself in a small American town and with his deeply religious family." * The Guardian *" "Virginia Woolfs Mrs Dalloway meets Judy Blumes Forever" is as good a pitch as Ive heard this year, and this beautifully crafted, complex novel which Ness calls his most personal yet, does not disappoint. […] Told with real tenderness, its a brilliant portrayal of the intensity of a teenagers inner life." * The Bookseller *"[a] subtle, heartfelt story of love and friendship in small-town America." * The Guardian *Ness once again demonstrates his profound understanding of the complexities of being a young adult, and of the human condition more generally … Heartbreaking, intense and acutely honest, this novel casts a subtle spell of hope. * LoveReading4Kids, Joanne Owen *Its signature Ness in many ways, particularly in how it sensitively and maturely deals with the horrors – and the ecstasies – of teenage life. […] Based loosely on ness own experience growing up, its here that the novel really shines; Adams insecurities and struggle with his parents beliefs are heartbreaking. Ness fictional worlds are littered with fantastic characters: Adam I a wonderful addition to the panoply. * List.co.uk * Details ISBN1406378690 Author Patrick Ness Pages 288 Publisher Walker Books Ltd Year 2018 ISBN-10 1406378690 ISBN-13 9781406378696 Format Paperback Imprint Walker Books Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom DEWEY 823.92 Media Book Language English UK Release Date 2018-05-03 Publication Date 2018-05-03 AU Release Date 2018-05-03 NZ Release Date 2018-05-03 Audience Age 14 Audience Teenage / Young adult We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
