the stars at oktober bend |
An extraordinary voice; Alice Nightingale is not able to speak properly - but her head is full of words and poems. She writes these out leaving them pinned round the township for anyone to find. One of those is Manny James from Sierra Leone, a refugee. Both suffer for who they are. Another painful YA novel? Yes in parts but ultimately uplifting. Do read it.
