Chris Cleave's first novel, Incendiary, was an international success, and a film adaptation starring Michelle Williams and Ewan McGregor is to be released in late 2008. This second novel is just as compelling. 'Profound, deeply moving and yet light in touch, it explores the nature of loss, hope, love and identity with atrocity its backdrop. Read it and think deeply' Sarah Broadhurst, The Bookseller
