'A brilliant and beautifully crafted tale… I loved it!' Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs
A summer she can't rememberA friendship she won't forget
Nothing much happens in Sycamore, the small village where Clara lives — at least, that's how it seems. She loves eating ripe mangoes fallen from trees, running outside in the rainy season and escaping to her secret hideout with her best friend Gaynah. There's only one problem: she can't remember anything about the previous summer.
When a quirky girl called Rudy arrives from England, everything starts to change. Gaynah stops acting like a best friend, while Rudy and Clara roam across the island and uncover an old family secret. As the summer reaches its peak and the island storms begin, Clara's memory starts to return and she must finally face the truth of what happened last year.

    ‘You did what I couldn’t do,’ he says, and there is a quaver in his voice. ‘You brought him out. You brought the village together. You know, I asked him plenty of times to come to the house and have dinner, but he wouldn’t. He said the neighbours wouldn’t like it. That it would make life hard for us if he came. But you made him come. You did this, Clara.’ He turns his back on me and tells me to continue with what I was doing, and I think it’s because he doesn’t want me to see him tearing up.

    The boat is getting smaller, and the ocean is getting bigger, and it feels as if we are being sucked down into the depths. I focus hard on my fingers circling lines that don’t exist, keeping me from looking my father in the eye.

    wait until the last second, jump on my feet, and turn my board along the inside of the wave. The moment lasts only seconds before I fall off my board.

    But I have never felt more alive
