Una novela emotiva y esperanzadora a partes iguales, que trata el cari???o, el duelo y todo aquello que hace que la vida valga la pena. Biz sabe c???mo flotar, bien pegada a la superficie. Tiene amigos, a su madre, a los mellizos. Tiene a Grace. Y a su padre, que no deber???a estar aqu???, pero est???. As??? que Biz no le dice nada a nadie sobre sus pensamientos oscuros, sobre besar a Grace o sobre echarle el ojo a Jasper, el chico nuevo. Y, por supuesto, nada sobre ver a su padre, que muri??? cuando ella ten???a siete a???os. Pero tras el incidente en la playa, los lazos que atan a Biz con la realidad se deshacen. Su mundo se desmorona cuando su padre desaparece. Igual ser???a m???s sencillo dejarse ir hasta flotar muy lejos. Tal vez ser???a preferible quedarse para traer a su padre de vuelta. O quiz???s hay una tercera opci???n, aunque Biz todav???a sea incapaz de verla. ???Este libro te har??? explotar en forma de ???tomos, te recompondr??? y te devolver??? a la tierra con una nueva forma???., de Margo Lanagan, autora de Tender Morsels. ENGLSH DESCRIPTION A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year A Chicago Public Library Best of the Best of the Year "Profoundly moving . . . Will take your breath away." --Kathleen Glasgow, author of Girl in Pieces A stunningly gorgeous and deeply hopeful portrayal of living with mental illness and grief, from an exceptional new voice. Biz knows how to float. She has her people, her posse, her mom and the twins. She has Grace. And she has her dad, who tells her about the little kid she was, and who shouldn't be here but is. So Biz doesn't tell anyone anything. Not about her dark, runaway thoughts, not about kissing Grace or noticing Jasper, the new boy. And she doesn't tell anyone about her dad. Because her dad died when she was seven. And Biz knows how to float, right there on the surface--normal okay regular fine. But after what happens on the beach--first in the ocean, and then in the sand--the tethers that hold Biz steady come undone. Dad disappears and, with him, all comfort. It might be easier, better, sweeter to float all the way away? Or maybe stay a little longer, find her father, bring him back to her. Or maybe--maybe maybe maybe--there's a third way Biz just can't see yet. Debut author Helena Fox tells a story about love and grief, about inter-generational mental illness, and how living with it is both a bridge to someone loved and lost and, also, a chasm. She explores the hard and beautiful places loss can take us, and honors those who hold us tightly when the current wants to tug us out to sea.
