This award winning novel will soon be released as a movie starring
Saoirse Ronan as Daisy.
Fifteen-year-old New Yorker Daisy is sent to live in the English
countryside with cousins she's never even met. When England is attacked
and occupied by an unnamed enemy, the cousins find themselves on their
own. Power fails, system fail. As they grow more isolated, the farm
becomes a kind of Eden, with no rules. Until the war arrives in their
midst.
Daisy's is a war story, a survival story, a love story--all told in the
voice of a subversive and witty teenager. This book crackles with
anxiety and with lust. It's a stunning and unforgettable first novel
that captures the essence of the age of terrorism: how we live now.
