Description

About the Book :

During one long, hot summer, five-year-old Pea and her little sister Margot play alone in the meadow behind their house, on the edge of a small village in Southern France. Her mother is too sad to take care of them; she left her happiness in the hospital, along with the baby. Pea's father has died in an accident and Maman, burdened by her double grief and isolated from the village by her Englishness, has retreated to a place where Pea cannot reach her - although she tries desperately to do so.

Then Pea meets Claude, a man who seems to love the meadow as she does and who always has time to play. Pea believes that she and Margot have found a friend, and maybe even a new papa. But why do the villagers view Claude with suspicion? And what secret is he keeping in his strange, empty house?

Elegantly written, haunting and gripping, The Night Rainbow is a novel about innocence and experience, grief and compassion and the dangers of an overactive imagination.

Interesting Facts :

A beautiful, surprising and beguiling debut set in the south of France by a prize-winning short story writer
The novel's precocious five-year-old narrator will appeal to fans of When God Was a Rabbit and The Snow Child
Claire King is English and lives in the south of France. She has a literary blog and is very good at social networking.


Reviews :

'Quirky, elegant and sweet: I loved it!'- Joanne Harris
'At once moving and gripping, elegant and spare, The Night Rainbow is a daring novel about a child faced with the baffling world of adult grief. Claire King nails the voice of the child narrator from the first page; Pea is a heroine you won't forget'- Maggie OFarrell
'Emotional and beautifully written, youll be on tenterhooks throughout'- Stylist
'An original, beguiling debut about the consequences of an imaginatively lived life'- Marie Claire
