Bøker av Ruth Adams

Saoirse has no idea why she has to deliver lunch to a secret hide-out. Grace overhears something she shouldn't and begins to feel frightened. In the space of one day, both girls are confronted with the consequences of what their fathers have done, and their childhood is suddenly thrown into jeopardy. Childish dreams of bicycles and ice-cream are pushed to one side, as talk of guns, bombs and a 'security problem' takes centre stage. Although they have never met before that day, Grace and Saoirse's paths begin to cross, and it becomes clear that they are connected in darker ways than they could ever have imagined. Out of the chaos of life threats and family loyalty, will they be able to salvage something good?

Examines the relationship between cultural values and economic value, and how this has been managed over time and around the world in a variety of contexts.
