![]() They spend some idyllic weeks together-often alone with Aunt Penn away travelling in Norway. ![]() Daisy stays at her Aunt Penn's country farmhouse for the summer with Edmond and her other cousins. ![]() She's picked up at the airport by Edmond, her English cousin, a boy in whose life she is destined to become intricately entwined. Rosoff's story begins in modern day London, slightly in the future, and as its heroine has a 15-year-old Manhattanite called Daisy. Heralded by some as the next best adult crossover novel since Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, who himself has given the book a thunderously good quote, this author's debut is undoubtedly stylish, readable and fascinating. Possibly one of the most talked about books of the year, Meg Rosoff's novel for young adults is the winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize 2004. ![]()
