Isabel And Rocco - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Isabel is seventeen, her brother Rocco is nineteen. Half-forgotten by their distracted, unnoting parents their days are spent together - watching the intricacies of London life from their attic room, listening to their parents impassioned arguing and slowly growing to become more and more dependent on one another. When their mother and father suddenly and unaccountably leave the family house, Isabel and Rocco are left to themselves; the house, and all that seems to touch it, slowly degenerating under their reclusive charge. Told through the eyes of Isabel, we follow her as she wavers precariously from childlike vulnerability to adult knowing, resisting and accepting at turns the subtle manipulations that threaten to overwhelm her. A brilliantly vivid and deeply captivating first novel, with echoes of Ian McEwan's The Cement Garden.
