Charlie lives with her Nan in Deptford. In the early days of the
Blitz they are bombed out and Charlie becomes separated from the
only people she knows and trusts. Although just nine, she salvages
what she can from the wreckage and determines to build herself a
new life. All she has, however, are fragments of the real world,
uncertain memories of life in a far-off land, images from all the
books and comics she reads, and glimpses of other worlds that may
or may not be real. Stealing food and dodging the authorities,
watching ghost children play, she carves out a precarious niche in
the ruins. But, just as she finds friendship and the prospect of
security, she crosses the path of a monster who stalks and kills
young girls in the blacked out streets. Determined to protect what
she has fought so hard to create, Charlie sets out to destroy the
one tangible element of all the evil that has blighted her young
life. Thin Reflections is the first of a quartet of novels that
take us through fragments of the twentieth century as they were and
as they might have been. Powerful, rich, and imbued with a sense of
magic, they offer a glimpse into the ways we cope when the world is
torn apart around us.
