A Little in Love 12+

About this book

Paris, 1832

A girl lies alone in the darkness, clutching a letter to her heart.

Eponine remembers being a child: her swing and the peach tree, and the baby brother she loved. But mostly she remembers being miserable. Taught to lie and cheat, and to hate the one girl, Cosette, who might have been her friend.

Now, at sixteen, the two girls meet again, and Eponine has one more chance. But what is the price of friendship--the love of a boy?

Reviews

Praise for Susan Fletcher:

"One of the most poetic and original voices working now."--The Guardian (UK)

"Her prose is extraordinarily lyrical: haunted, dreamlike and precise . . . Fletcher's words are undeniably beautiful and her themes are profound."--The Sunday Times (UK)
