It's the 1950s, and Lorrie is unimpressed when her family moves to
the remote Scottish island where her grandad runs a whisky
distillery. She befriends Sylvie, the shy girl next door: `The
slightest smile from Sylvie was a fluffy elephant at the fair. It
had to be won with a clear aim,' writes Lorrie. Yet fun-loving
Lorrie isn't sure Sylvie's is the friendship she wants to win. As
the adults around them struggle to keep their lives on an even
keel, the two young women are drawn into a series of events that
leave the small town wondering who exactly Sylvie is and what
strange gift she is hiding.Readman's feel for emotional nuance and
flair for mixing strangeness with poignant detail make this
long-awaited debut novel one to savour.
