Until one day, telling her nothing, her parents whisk her off to Rio de Janeiro. Determined to find out why, Ella takes her chance and searches through their things.
And realises her life has been a lie.
Her mother and father aren't hers at all. Unable to comprehend the truth, Ella runs away, to the one place they'll never think to look - the favelas.

Notă biografică
THE
ONE
MEMORY
OF
FLORA
BANKS
published
in
2017
was
Emily
Barr's
first
novel
for
young
adults
and
was
a
global
hit,
publishing
in
27
languages.
Before
that,
she
worked
as
a
journalist
in
London
but
always
hankered
after
a
quiet
room
and
a
book
to
write.
She
went
travelling
for
a
year,
which
gave
her
an
idea
for
a
novel
set
in
the
world
of
backpackers
in
Asia.
This
became
BACKPACK,
an
adult
thriller
which
won
the
WH
Smith
New
Talent
Award,
and
she
has
since
written
eleven
more
adult
novels
published
in
the
UK
and
around
the
world.
She
lives
in
Cornwall
with
her
husband
and
their
children.
Recenzii
Barr
is
superb
at
evoking
the
heightened
emotions
of
adolescence:
the
exhilarating
thrill
of
first
love,
the
intensity
of
fear
and
rage
at
adults'
deception
and
the
need
to
discover
one's
own
identity.
With disturbing undertones, vivid characters and authentic dialogue, this is a worthy successor to her wonderful debut, The One Memory of Flora Banks
Evoking Ella's intoxicating new surroundings while skewering the facile assumptions of "poverty tourism",Barr's second YA novel is a fast-paced, dramatic search for answers to the secrets of the self
Colourful setting and pacy plot. If you like dark fiction you'll devour it
Emily Barr already proved she could hit all the right teen-fiction notes in last year'sThe One Memory of Flora Banks. This taps the same vein. Ella's parents are doting to the point of smothering but they don't know about the dark and twisty part of her that threatens to destroy everything
