"Heartbreaking and compelling." Observer Lou Connor, a gifted, unhappy sixteen-year-old, is desperate to escape her life of poverty in Sydney. When she is offered a place as an exchange student at a school in America it seems as if her dreams will be fulfilled . . .

Hyland has created a larger-than-life heroine who captivates the reader with her vivacity and vulnerability, from hopeful beginning to unexpected, haunting end. "Hyland nails the alternating excitement and embarrassment of being a teenager . . . a writer grappling with serious questions about how we make our way through the world." New York Times "An astonishingly well-written slice of reality."
