My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece
Autor Annabel Pitcheren Paperback – 7 oct 2013 – vârsta de la 12 ani
Well,
some
of
her
does.
A
collarbone,
two
ribs,
a
bit
of
skull,
and
a
little
toe.
To
ten-year-old
Jamie,
his
family
has
fallen
apart
because
of
the
loss
of
someone
he
barely
remembers:
his
sister
Rose,
who
died
five
years
ago
in
a
terrorist
bombing.
To
his
father,
life
is
impossible
to
make
sense
of
when
he
lives
in
a
world
that
could
so
cruelly
take
away
a
ten-year-old
girl.
To
Rose's
surviving
fifteen
year
old
twin,
Jas,
everyday
she
lives
in
Rose's
ever
present
shadow,
forever
feeling
the
loss
like
a
limb,
but
unable
to
be
seen
for
herself
alone.
Told with warmth and humor, this powerful novel is a sophisticated take on one family's struggle to make sense of the loss that's torn them apart... and their discovery of what it means to stay together.

Recenzii
*
"[A]
striking
debut.
Realistic,
gritty
and
uplifting."—Kirkus
(starred
review)
*
"Straddles
that
fine
line
between
funny
and
tragic...
As
a
study
of
grief's
collateral
damage,
it
deals
with
the
topic
realistically
without
losing
sight
of
hope."
—Booklist
(starred
review)*
"In
this
powerfully
honest,
quirkily
humorous
debut
novel...Pitcher
tackles
grief,
prejudice,
religion,
bullying,
and
familial
instability."
—Publishers
Weekly
(starred
review)*
"Compelling
and
believable...by
turns
heartbreaking
and
hysterically
funny...
This
is
an
important
book
that
could
be
used
in
classes
and
book-discussion
groups.
Don't
let
it
fall
through
the
cracks."
