Title: The Things We Leave Behind
Author: Clare Furniss
Description:
How I Live Now meets Exodus – a startling YA dystopia that imagines London as the epicentre of the refugee crisis, from critically acclaimed author Clare Furniss.
Civil unrest in London has reached an all-time high after years of a growing authoritarian regime, and it's no longer safe for Clem and her half-sister Billie in the city. Clem tells of their treacherous journey to Scotland, by road and then by sea, fleeing with nothing but a notebook filled with stories and memories of home. But is there something Clem's not saying? And how will this journey – and the sisters' story – end? With the start of a new life? Or a mirror held up to the past?
PRAISE FOR THE THINGS WE LEAVE BEHIND:
'A frighteningly remarkable, relevant and moving novel, told gently and with impeccable style. Clare Furniss is one of the very best writers for young people and this new novel is her finest yet. I loved it.' Sarah Crossan, author of Moonrise
'Gripping and heart-wrenching, the story has a tragic denouement that is almost too painful to read, but Furniss' exquisite writing carries the reader through.' The Bookseller
I couldn't stop reading The Things We Leave Behind, I was totally immersed, as if I was a book-mad teenager again. I was moved and engrossed. Devastating and unsparing but full of hope and love too. It was a privilege to read itCandy Gourlay
This book is exceptional. Years and Years meets The End We Start From for teenagers. Should be on every secondary set text listJoanna Nadin
SO good - gripping, moving, tense, twisty and very, very necessary. In Clare's capable hands it all felt so utterly real and terrifyingly possible I got the chillsLisa Williamson
Such moving, thought-provoking, compelling story-telling. Wonderful characters. Utterly convincing. I loved itJulia Green
