Following the success of The Shell House, Linda Newbery again
demonstrates her brilliance at weaving thought-provoking subjects
into a wholly satisfying and sensitively drawn novel. Hilly's
German grandmother, HeidiGran, comes to live with her family after
she gets Alzheimer's disease; but as her mind becomes more muddled,
secrets from her memories of life during the Second World War start
to emerge. Why does HeidiGran keep talking about a girl called
Rachel? And why does she make racist remarks about Hilly's friend,
Reuben? As Hilly struggles to cope with revelations about her
family's past, she encounters racism and prejudice for herself when
a friend becomes the victim of a mindless attack. She also falls in
love for the first time. This is a wonderfully evocative novel
exploring the recurring prejudices that affect every generation.
