About this deal

And this simplicity really helps pack a powerful punch of emotions into you, emotions that will linger with you for days. The language is simple and direct, but Crossan chooses the perfect words to make the perfect sentences; therefore making this near to perfect novel. Nachdem ich zuletzt innerhalb von zwei Tagen zwei Bücher von Sarah Crossan verschlungen habe, stand für mich schnell fest, dass ich auch unbedingt ihr neuestes Werk "Apple und Rain" lesen möchte. Like I said, her age meant I didn’t connect with her as much as I wanted to, but I still liked her well enough and wanted her to see what she needed to do to get out of the horrible situation she was in! It seemed like everything was sad, serious and dreary, and there wasn’t enough light at the end of the tunnel for me.

I do feel that Apple is upset about her father’s lack of caring or involvement in her life, she expresses upset that she only sees him about twice in the year and at one point says ‘even though Dad doesn’t want me to live with Mum, he never says I should live with him…he could at least offer.

I love the part were sometimes someone would run then you could see all of the effects of how fast they were going. I knew there was the potential for a novel in there, but I was also petrified of writing about something that was entirely unknown to me. Apple(her full name is Apollinia Apostolopoulou - named for her Greek father) is a sincere character with believable thoughts, motivations and actions appropriate for her age. She's living with her very religious, quiet protective and strict, Irish nana, who won't let her have some freedom, and coming to terms with her father's distance, a new stepmother and all the problems that brings with it. When Apple was still a little girl, her mother decided to leave her on a stormy Christmas Eve because she just couldn't take it anymore.

It's beautifully written and it made me cry but it also made me laugh' - The Bookbag _______________ SHORTLISTED FOR THE CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL All the time Mum was away, Eleven long years, I saved up my hopes Like little pennies in a jar. Am meisten habe ich jedoch Apple ins Herz geschlossen, denn diese war mir nicht nur sehr sympathisch, sondern ich konnte auch mit ihr mitfühlen und mich somit in sie hineinversetzen. Although perhaps the intended target audience is younger than me, it’s definitely not a children’s book. It had a flighty mother who cared about no one or nothing, two young girls who struggled to make their mother happy, and a grandmother who could do nothing but helplessly watch all the drama unfold. Soon, Apple begins to realise that what she thought was the best thing ever, might not truly be what it seems.Als ihre Mutter sich nach elf Jahren allerdings meldet und ihre Tochter wieder zu sich holen möchte, glaubt Apple zunächst, dass all ihre Wünsche damit in Erfüllung gegangen sind und sie endlich wieder bei ihrer Mutter leben darf, allerdings stellt sich schnell heraus, dass ihre Mutter ihre ganz eigenen Ziele mit ihr verfolgt und Apple somit noch mehr ein Stück von ihrer Kindheit verliert. However, this one time, I let my expectations reach a higher peak, and needless to say, Apple and Rain did not disappoint. It's only when Apple meets someone more lost than she is that she begins to see things as they really are.
