‘I want to climb a mountain and I need a guide.’
Geneva’s world has been blown apart by loss. Maybe
that’s why her decisions are not always the sharpest.
One thing she knows: there’s no way back to the person
she once was.
When Angus appears in her orbit it seems an
omen that things are changing — but life is never that
simple.
In trying to find a way forward, Geneva risks her
friendships, risks repeating the errors of the past, even
risks her life. But maybe there’s no other way to find
the person she can be.
A superbly written, gripping and utterly absorbing novel.
“All teenagers are trying to make decisions that will shape their lives for years to come. The biggest struggle for anyone this age… is trying to find out who you are, where you fit, what you’ll do. It’s a quest that age doesn’t alter.” Anna Mackenzie
Anna Mackenzie is also the author of acclaimed novel The Sea-wreck Stranger, joint winner of the 2008 Sir Julius Vogel Award and a finalist for the 2008 New Zealand Post Book Awards.
