Description
Emily has not yet reached the age of judgment. For her, normality consists of contentment and magic and there is no possibility of change in the seeming happiness of her parents. She loves them both dearly and her image of them is together - invisible, laughing, dancing, making every day scintillate with life.
When change does come, Emily is a helpless spectator, confused by the puzzle of ill-fitting events. With both poignant humor and ruthless honesty, Angela Huth has captured the inconsistencies of adult behavior, as seen through the eyes of a child who watches and suffers from them.
"Sun Child" is an exceptional adult book about a child's world.
