Rosoff’s prose is strong and muscular, its cadence that of a horse’s canter, its chiming tone ballad-like. The same holds true for her compulsively readable new novel The Bride’s Farewell.
Just in Case and What I Was are intense enough to galvanize teens and adults. An international bestseller, How I Live Now, was shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and took the Printz Award and the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize. Meg Rosoff writes harrowing, psychologically complex crossover novels. 5 *****”Ī poetically charged romance, full of thorny emotional dilemmas… Meg Rosoff has created a feisty 19th-century heroine whose troubles and travails are strikingly salient in the world of modern romance.”
Meg Rosoff is a wonderful, captivating writer – her evocation of place and time are pitch perfect. A gripping, poetic coming-of-age tale, which considers issues as relevant to 21st century teenage experience as they were in Pell’s time relationships, duty, love and abuse by Meg Rosoff.
