Suzannah Dunn: Levitation for Beginners, Gebunden

Klappentext

'Levitation for Beginners transported me right back to my '70s schooldays. The clannishness and micro-cruelties of 10-year-old girls were brilliantly authentic. I especially liked the innuendo and half-grasped truths that filter down to Deborah from the adult world and the slowly building unease. I loved that nothing was over-explained; it all made for a deliciously unsettling read' Clare Chambers, bestselling author of Small Pleasures

Our neighbours' gardens glittered darkly with laburnum seeds, and in the alley behind the fence were abandoned fridges perfect for our games of hide-and-seek. At the end of the street idled the ice cream van from behind which, brandishing our Mivvis, we could bolt into the path of a driver - un-clunked, un-clicked - who'd had one more for the road. I'm only half joking when I say I'm surprised that any of us lived to tell the tale.
