After her young mother's sudden death eight-year-old Eve is sent to live with her grandparents in rural Wales. In this unfamiliar world, she is told stories about her relatives but is forbidden to ask about her father, an Irish thief who abandoned her mother. When an older girl in town disappears, Eve is drawn into the longstanding secrets and suspicions of her town. A rare page turner, Eve Green is a dramatic story about a grievous error of judgment.

From the Whitbread Award-winning author of "Eve Green" comes this lyrical novel that probes two sisters struggle with envy, loneliness, and love--an emotion they crave and simultaneously fear, but ultimately recognize it as the greatest force of all.
