Picked up randomly in the library using my highly selective criteria (slim, no pastel colours, female author decent font).

A lovely book, subtle, poignant, delicate. First person, almost brusque narration built up a deep emotional world. 5*s.

Told from the perspective of a young girl as she and her older brother visit their father in Africa. The story fills in backwards to why the kids are living with and being raised by their grandparents in England. It's well written, a quick read, full of little girl insights. Recommended.
