TINA'S WEB

Alki Zei

Shortlisted for The Marsh Award 2009

Tina's life in Germany had been so happy, it never occurred to her that one day her parents might split. Or - worse still - send her back to Greece to live with her grandmother!

But Tina doesn't mind anything any more. She's found the answer. With the help of her friend Wick, and a really amazing little blue pill... then lots more amazing little pills... then lots of really incredible lies...
Sometimes it's as if she's in heaven, sometimes she's crashing back down to earth, and now - there's no return. Or is there?

Written with a fine and original humour, with a discreet sense of the innocent happiness of childhood... within the borders of a world that collapses...the theme of the novel is universal.'
- James Forman New York Times
