Out of the Sun
(Macmillan Children's Books)
978-0333492888, RRP £4.50, Paperback
14+ Secondary/Adult
Based on autobiography this novel traces the life of Nancy in the paradise of Assam before her forced return to the post-war cold of Guernsey. Nancy's life in both places is created vividly through sharply observed brief scenes, and the final section where she begins to find new roots is matched by the dramatic return of her uncle, missing and presumed dead. Worth including in collections for 4th-years if the cost doesn't put you off.
