Wist - Tapa blanda

Críticas

'I was enchanted. This book has a warm and understanding heart. There are two beautiful young characters connected by chance and by choice. One travels and one stays put, but both make that crucial interior shift which takes them from love to forgiveness, from loss to survival' Liza Cody 'A remarkable rendering of teenage angst' (Sunday Times) 'Gay's narrative is tender and liberating... spiky and defiant' (Big Issue) 'Lively and acute... spooky, amusing and believable' (Lesley Glaister)

Reseña del editor

Wist tells the story of Romany and Kate: soul sisters linked by a love of escape and adventure. Street girl Romany is caught up in an Indian romance with the once-bookish Ty - but what unspoken loss makes the icy Himalayas so irresistible to him? - and Kate journeys to the Norfolk coast where the sea-wist sounds beneath Frieda's outpost home. But disaster, death and mishap intervene - and, as the inextricable threads between the sisters tighten, they must rework their bond in the light of dark truths from their family's past.

From Tom the one-eyed urban tramp to Nyala who herds the buffalo grazing by her mountainside home ... Wist's engaging characters and rich, thought-provoking themes will delight and challenge. Jackie Gay writes with a rare spark, energy and sympathy; in Wist she offers a unique perspective on what can happen when 'the sky falls in on your head'.
