Une enfance australienne (Roman), Paperback Book, By: Hartnett, Sonya

Adrian is 9 years old. He lives in a small Australian town, he loves to draw, he loves ice cream, dreams of having a dog. He is often afraid too. Fear of quicksand, sea monsters and spontaneous combustion. Her parents are missing. He is raised by an almost silent uncle and a bossy grandmother. At school, his best friend is called Clinton, even though he quickly abandons him for the "nerd" of the class. There are also these three children, Zoe, Christopher and Veronica, who, on a beautiful autumn day, went for a walk, and never came back ... So Adrian wonders who this man is who has just left. install in front of his home. And why the shutters remain closed. In this suffocating town where nothing and no one is innocent, in this withdrawn and somewhat bizarre family, An Australian Childhood tells the story of a lonely but very curious young boy. Maybe a little too much ... The whole strange and poetic universe of the one that Elle magazine had compared to Stephen King's Faulkner. A book not recommended for sensitive souls.
