THE NEAREST FAR AWAY
PLACE BY HAYLEY LONG
YOUNG ADULT 13+
Two orphaned brothers must
leave America to live with their aunt and uncle in Wales. A thought
provoking, sensitive tale of the different stages of grief and
healing. You're really rooting for the endearing siblings as they try
and help each other. I also loved the cultural contrast between
living in America and Wales. Flavoured with Dylan Thomas references
and quotes, this is a poignant, heart-warming tale of brotherly love.
