Viac o knihe

Sue Townsend, a beloved British writer known for the Adrian Mole series, presents a gripping tale of love and loss in Ghost Children. Seventeen years ago, Angela Carr terminated an unwanted pregnancy, leaving the child's father, Christopher Moore, heartbroken and withdrawn. Their lives took separate paths, but a shocking discovery during one of Christopher's walks forces him to confront Angela about their shared past. As they reconnect, they grapple with the possibility of avoiding past mistakes and the shadows they cast on their future. This poignant narrative explores the complexities of love and the impact of loss, showcasing Townsend's signature blend of compassion and grit. Critics have praised the work as "bleak, tender, and deeply affecting," with the Mail on Sunday noting the strong emotional investment in the characters. The Daily Telegraph calls it "startling and raw," while the Guardian describes it as "engrossing, memorable, and moving." Townsend, celebrated for her humor and insight, has authored numerous bestsellers, including eight Adrian Mole books and other acclaimed novels and plays. She continues to reside in Leicester, her hometown.
