A haunting tale of adolescence and survival.

"How the Light Gets In" is a beautifully written, highly charged study of the emotional intensity of adolescence. This coming-of-age story follows the struggles of Lou, an unhappy and gifted sixteen-year-old, as she tries to escape poverty in Sydney. This memorable protagonist's story is utterly compelling, with a dark humor and a voice that is both edgy and fantastically sarcastic. This book is great for those who enjoy realistic fiction and an intense, emotional journey.
