Infinite Sky - Tapa dura

'A beautiful, delicate debut' * Nathan Filer, author The Shock of the Fall * 'Loved by young adult journalists, CJ Flood's debut novel is also a burgeoning hit among adult readers' * Stylist * 'Every character is drawn with sympathy, economy and assurance' -- Amanda Craig * The Times * 'Extraordinarily powerful . . . brilliantly visual and full of feeling' * Guardian * Exceptionally good. From the first sentence... the story grips you... Moving, open-ended and remarkable. -- Nicolette Jones * Sunday Times Culture * A beautifully written, poignant account of first love, so full of delightfully recognisable moments, it will have grown-ups welling up. * The Irish Time, Gloss magazine * Strong debut...She's one to watch. * The Bookseller * C.J. Flood has hit upon a timely topic. Interest in the travelling community gathers momentum, and this is a serious story that asks some brave questions. * We Love This Book * I loved Infinite Sky. Thanks for introducing me to a fantastic new author. * Keith Gray, author of Ostrich Boys * Infinite Sky is beautiful. It made me cry... I love how the place and the 'natural world' is like a character and... I love the romance - how it's more than a romance, really, and not at all sentimental or typical. * Simmone Howell, author of Notes from the Teenage Underground *

A truly beautiful book about the summer that changed one girl's life, as her mum leaves home, travellers set up camp in the family's field, her older brother goes off the rails, and she falls in love for the very first time. Opening with a funeral, Iris is mourning the boy in the casket - but who is it? Sam, her tearaway brother, or Trick, her tentative boyfriend? Over one long hot summer, we find out just how their three lives were turned upside-down.
