Description

Narrated by the most compelling voice since Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, this is a quirky and original voyage of self-discovery triggered by a lost urn of ashes.

The mini cab office was up a cobbled mews with little flat houses either side.

That's where I first met Violet Park, what was left of her. There was a healing centre next door, a pretty smart name for a place with a battered brown door and no proper door handle and stuck-on wooden numbers in the shape of clowns. The 3 of number 13 was a w stuck on sideways and I thought it was kind of sad and I liked it at the same time.

Sixteen-year-old Lucas Swain becomes intrigued by the urn of ashes left in a cab office. Convinced that its occupant – Violet Park – is communicating with him, he contrives to gain possession of the urn, little realising that his quest will take him on a voyage of self-discovery and identity, forcing him to finally confront what happened to his absent (and possibly dead) father…

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Memorable and well-paced, this is a book to help young people grow in spite of adversity." (Carousel)

"First-time author Jenny Valentine has an original and exciting voice."(Writing Magazine)
"Narrated by the most unique voice since Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, this is a quirky and original voyage of self-discovery… a terrific book." (Gateway)
