Gwenni Morgan is not like any other girl in her small Welsh town. Inquisitive, bookish and full of spirit, she can
fly in her sleep and loves playing detective. So when a neighbour mysteriously vanishes, and no one seems to
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.
'Strachan eschews whimsy for reality in a beautifully written story about growing up.'
Independent on Sunday
'A delight.'
Financial Times
'Extremely compelling . . . I loved this novel.'
Catherine O'Flynn, author of What Was Lost
'A warm and touching, but blessedly unsentimental, novel.'
