Omschrijving

An extraordinary bond develops between an angry teenage runaway and a middle-aged woman running a large farm on her own, as they work the land and slowly heal ... the sublime, achingly beautiful debut that everyone is talking about...

`Such a timely tale ... hopeful and poignant and lyrically told. A truly compassionate and heartening book´ Culturefly

`Poetic in places and, as the title suggests, highly sensory ... a genuinely hopeful and open-hearted novel´ Irish Times

`Tasting Sunlight reminded me of reading Sally Rooney's Normal People. It takes a writer of immeasurable talent to make you feel that intensely, merely by evoking ripening late summer fruit and the sound of rain on dusty ground´ Elizabeth Haynes

`Powerful, original and engaging. I loved it´ Susie Boyt

**Tasting Sunlight is a BBC World Service WORLD BOOK CLUB PICK**

**Over 600,000 copies sold in Germany**

**THREE YEARS on the German Bestseller List**

_________________

Teenager Sally has just run away from a clinic where she is being treated for anorexia. She's furious with everything and everyone, and wants to be left in peace.

Liss is in her forties, living alone on a large farm that she runs single-handedly. She has little contact with the outside world, and no need for other people.

From their first meeting, Sally realises that Liss isn't like other adults; she expects nothing of Sally and simply accepts who she is, offering her a bed for the night with no questions asked.

That night becomes weeks and then months, as an unlikely friendship develops and these two damaged women slowly open up - connecting to each other, reconnecting with themselves, and facing the darkness in their pasts through their shared work on the land.

Achingly beautiful, profound, invigorating and uplifting, Tasting Sunlight is a story of friendship across generations, of love and acceptance, of the power of nature to heal and transform, and the goodness that surrounds us, if only we take time to see it...
