The Ice Age (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Kirsten Reed | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Across the heartfelt expanse of America...

We left a tip and the waitress shot us what I suppose was intended to be a look of gratitude. She really only managed a weak glare. I guess that's the countryside for you. People are a little edgy.

...a teenage girl is riding shotgun with an older man. She watches him. She is amused by the black looks and knowing smiles they attract. In this small, charmed world of backroads, motels and diners she believes they are safe.
Her companion knows the road does not go on forever. But she wants only to be close.
The ice age is coming, and we will need to huddle together for warmth.


The ice age is a brilliant new take on the road novel, an irresistible journey through the translucent moment at the end of childhood. Lyrical, earthy, laced with sly humour, Kirsten Reed's superb debut presents a young protagonist to fear and rejoice for.
