The Great Godden

This is the story of one family. One dreamy summer. The summer when everything changes. In a sun-drenched house by the sea, teenage brothers and sisters and older cousins fill the golden days with wine and games and planning a wedding. Enter the Goddens : irresistible, charming Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there's a serpent in paradise - and the consequences will be devastating. From Meg Rosoff, bestselling author of How I Live Now, comes a heady and lyrical coming-of-age novel that's as powerful and timeless as Bonjour Tristesse or I Capture the Castle.
