The Double Dilemma by Lily Buchanan
A visit from Aunt Gwendolyn is never a welcome surprise, but when she plans to come for the whole summer, it brings too many memories … too many shadows … too many mysteries …
'Lily Buchanan's work is what you would hope from new writing – Imaginative, forceful and thought-provoking.
This story, with its connections between secrets, family bonds, and people who don't give up on things, is an exciting one to read from a young writer, and shows a real flair for storytelling.
I think that the way the tale is told, the well-drawn characters, and lovingly drawn settings, definitely make her a new writer to watch.'
