About this listen

 A girl, her cousin and a tragic family secret... Aliki and Liza are friends as well as cousins. They share everything - friends, ideas, dreams and school - they're more like sisters than anything else. When Liza flies to Greece with her mother to bring her grandmother, Yiayia, home to Five Dock, everything changes forever. Secrets that have long been hidden are dragged into the light of day, Aliki's family is on the move, and pieces of the puzzle are thrown up in the air and settle to form a new picture. Both girls find new directions in their lives and have to reassess the bonds that hold them together.©2006 Irini Savvides. (P)2006 Bolinda Publishing

Editorial reviews

Performer Edwina Wren lends credence to this coming-of-age tale, as she deftly captures the teenage sensibilities of the story’s 18-year-old protagonist, Liza: confident, sarcastic, and self-assuredly hip, but tempered by youthful angst and naivety in the face of familial strife and an uncertain future. Listeners will follow Liza from Australia to Greece, where she’s reunited with her ailing grandmother, Ara. The reunion isn’t altogether comfortable, as Ara reveals family secrets and encroaches on Liza’s personal space. Heading into their final year of school, Liza and her cousin Aliki struggle to cope with the responsibilities of young adulthood, even as family secrets from their childhood remain unresolved. Throughout, Wren brims with fresh-faced wonder, defiant rambunctiousness, and playful good humor.

Critic Reviews

"A moving tale of family, memories and forgetting ... a beautifully woven story which holds much to ponder not just for teen readers but also for adults." (aussiereviews.com)
