Description
Longlisted for the Women’s Fiction PrizeMummy never yells. Mostly not ever. Except sometimes.Anna is five. Her little brother, Stick, is almost three. They are camping with their parents in Algonquin Park, in three thousand square miles of wilderness. It’s the perfect family trip. But then Anna awakes in the night to the sound of something moving in the shadows. Her father is terrified. Her mother is screaming. Then, silence.Alone in the woods, it is Anna who has to look after Stick, battling hunger and the elements to stay alive. Narrated by Anna, this is white-knuckle storytelling that captures the fear, wonder and bewilderment of our worst nightmares – and the power of one girl’s enduring love for her family.

Bold…shocking…distinctive…the reward is striking images that stick in the mind, a blend of Anna's interpretations of events and the reader's imagination. It was even more haunting the second time around |
