Summary
Bloomsbury presents Apple and Rain by Sarah Crossan, read by Sarah Crossan.
This exquisite novel explores the bond between daughters and mothers, forgiveness, and the healing power of words.
All the time Mum was away,
Eleven long years,
I saved up my hopes
Like little pennies in a jar.
Apple's mother disappeared years ago, leaving Apple with her nana and a lot of unanswered questions. But when she unexpectedly explodes back into Apple's life like a comet, homecoming is bittersweet. It's only when Apple meets someone more lost than she is that she begins to see things as they really are.
This beautiful novel from multi-award-winning author Sarah Crossan explores family, friendship and reconciliation. It is a story about how messy, complicated and surprising love can be.
