Join us for the launch of Miranda Moore's debut YA novel, A Beautiful, Terrible Thing – A compulsively readable story about how grief, love and the poignant beauty of life intertwine, from an outstanding debut novelist.
About the book:
Cara’s world broke when her younger brother, Si, dies in a car crash. Three months later, she’s trying to find her way back, when she meets Nathan. Gorgeous, smart and kind, she feels a freedom when she’s with him. But he’s hiding a huge secret. His world broke three months ago too – when he ran a red light and killed a boy.
There’s no way Cara and Nathan can be together, But they find it impossible to be apart. This is a stunningly written, thought-provoking drama about loss, atonement, and love which defines a lifetime.
