 Alice is fifteen, but to everyone else, she is forever twelve. She has acquired brain injury. She can speak, but her words don’t come out right and her electrics don’t work. She writes poetry – beautifully and anonymously. Her first person narration has no capital letters and is very fragile. Manny is a boy who discovers her poetry. He was a boy soldier in Sierra Leone. He suffers from PTSD. This is an incredible love story of two teens and their pains. mjw |
