From Onjali Q. Rauf, author of The Boy at the Back of the Class,
comes another incredible story, told with humour and heart.
Touching on the challenges navigated by children caring for loved
ones at home, this story brings into focus their hardships and
worries, alongside the unexpected, invisible sources of kindness
which can change their lives.'It's funny that I'm named after a
movie star. If I ever became one, I would probably win every award
on the planet, because I have to act every single day of my life.'
10-year-old Audrey has a secret. She's the main carer for her
severely ill father.With her mum having left half a year ago,
Audrey is constantly in fear of being found out by social services,
so she has fine-tuned her life into becoming one of the best
actresses on the planet. As soon as she steps out of the front
door, the show is on, and all the world becomes her stage! No-one
would ever guess that she is a nurse and doctor for her father, the
family food shopper (and sometimes shoplifter!), a medicines
collector, and even bedtime-reader for her younger siblings. Audrey
is becomes determined to find a way of helping her Dad get to the
best doctor in the best hospital in the country so that he can get
better and they won't ever need to be apart and she won't have to
worry anymore.The only problem is, it's a dream that will cost her
thousands. As Audrey sets about trying to make her dream for her
family come true, someone else on the street embarks on a secret
mission of their own. One that will alter Audrey's life - and that
of her family - forever.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
