'This is an atmospheric and beguiling book, written with a precision which guards it from sentimentality.' Helen Dunmore.
Gussie is twelve years old and settling into her new ramshackle home on a cliff top above St Ives in Cornwall. She has an irrepressible zest for life but also a life-threatening heart condition. Perhaps because she knows her time might be short, she values every passing moment, experiencing each day with humour and extraordinary courage. Spirited and imaginative, Gussie has a passionate interest in everything around her and her vivid stream of thoughts and observations will draw you into a renewed sense of wonder. Gussie's story of inspiration and hope is both heartwarming and heartrending.
Once you've met her, you'll not forget her. And you'll never take life for granted again.
