Alarm Girl

By Hannah Vincent

Steeped in the dry heat of a South African summer, Hannah Vincent's keen and touching debut beautifully captures the human desire to belong: in a family, in a country, in your own skin. When 11-year-old Indigo and her older brother Robin arrive in South Africa to stay with their father, they find a luxury lifestyle that is a world away from their modest existence back in England. But Indigo is uneasy in the strange landscape and confused by the family's silence surrounding her mother's recent death. Unable to find solace, she begins to harbour violent suspicions.
