About this listen
A beautifully crafted teen novel from highly acclaimed author Maureen McCarthy.
At 17, Sophie is a mess. Her best friend is dead, and her boyfriend has gone. She's dropped out of school, sleeps through the day, eats all night, and refuses to see anyone. Her family has had enough. They're dumping her on an aunt she doesn't know in a country town where she'll be a complete stranger. But Sophie is about to embark on the strangest journey of her life. It will take her into her family's past, back to the origins of the bitter rift between her mother and her Aunt Fran, to her Uncle Jimmy and the Vietnam War, and finally to the girl in the painting and the story haunting all their lives.

Frieda Klein is a solitary, incisive psychotherapist who spends her sleepless nights walking along the ancient rivers that have been forced underground in modern London. She believes that the world is a messy, uncontrollable place. The abduction of five-year-old Matthew Farraday provokes a national outcry and a desperate police hunt. And when his face is splashed over the newspapers, Frieda cannot ignore the coincidence: one of her patients has been having dreams in which he has a hunger for just such a child.

It’s always been Malak, Kees, and Jenna against the world. Since childhood, under the watchful eyes of their parents, aunties and uncles, they’ve learned to live their own lives alongside the expectations of being good Muslim women. Staying over at a boyfriend's place is disguised as a best friend’s sleepover, and tiredness can be blamed on studying instead of partying. With growing older and the stakes of love and life growing higher, the delicate balancing act between rebellion and religion is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate.

Long Story
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
A long read (listen), that seemed to go on and on.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
There did not seem to be one clear main character.
Any additional comments?
When there are so many exceptional classics available to be studied on 'Coming-of-Age', why would a year 11 teacher select this one? Answer - quite simply they should not. On 'coming-of-age' this book lacked true depth for a well read student. I recommend this book if you need to pass the time on your commute.
