Sinopsis

All risk takers and daredevils must first learn how to fall, because they know they'll be doing a lot of it...

Ruby, a young and idealistic schoolgirl, is devoted to the charming and smart but unreliable Angus, at times even admiring his audacity. Yet as their love for each other deepens, his antics grow ever more dangerous, culminating in a risky art heist. Will Ruby lose sight of the truth altogether by sticking with Angus? Can she save him? And should she risk almost everything to do so?

Set in New England during the 1970s, this captivating novel from award-winning author Amanda Holmes is based on a true story. At the book's core, uncomfortable questions are posed about the blindness of love, essentially asking how far is too far. With a wonderfully colourful cast of characters and well-paced drama pulling the reader from each chapter to the next, I Know Where I Am When I'm Falling is the perfect book for those who have wondered just how blind love can be.

Reseña del editor

Opening in 1969 in New England, I KNOW WHERE I AM WHEN I'M FALLING is as rich in relationships as the colours and textures of the time. Ruby Lambert, is the eldest daughter in the eccentric Lambert family who get caught up in the life of Angus Aleshire, a charming, smart and athletic boy who they try to help and who shares Ruby's unconventional bent and love of the piano. Ruby and Angus fall in love but Angus has a dark side. His boyish charms start to wear thin losing him family and friends along the way and when his clever schemes and misbehavior get him in trouble, culminating with an art heist, he tries even Ruby's love for him. The story spans thirteen years, and poses uncomfortable questions about the blindness of love, nurture versus nature and life through rose tinted glasses. Ruby struggles to square her vision of Angus's potential with the unsettling and mounting reality.
