Omschrijving

A powerfully told story of the love between two brothers in the aftermath of a family tragedy.

a stunning story of grief, hope and brotherhood.

A brilliantly well written and poignant story about grief for teenagers which I would highly recommend. It's both real and raw whilst still feeling slightly magical.

Heart breaking and heart warming. A welcome and important addition to teen literature.

A thought-provoking, sensitive tale of the different stages of grief and healing. You're really rooting for the endearing siblings as they try to help each other. I also loved the cultural contrast between living in America and Wales. Flavoured with Dylan Thomas references and quotes, this is a poignant, heart-warming tale of brotherly love.

As I turned the final page, tears streaming down my face, I felt like a weight had been lifted off me, and that I had been on a hell of a journey with Griff and Dylan. A beautiful, lyrical story of love and brotherhood and loss and moving on.

The best tear-jerkers are often novels where pain goes hand-in-hand with humour, and Hayley Long's The Nearest Far Away Place offers up a superb example...This is a superb depiction of sibling love, complete with its frustrations and arguments.

When I started reading The Nearest Faraway Place I thought I knew what I was getting: a story about grief and moving through it. This is indeed the thrust of the story but its narrative also twists and turns like the emotional rollercoaster the protagonist and his brother are on. The unexpected changes in pace and direction left me, with a third of the book still to read, sobbing buckets on a busy train - so much so, the stranger next to me actually asked if I was OK. Slightly embarrassing, yes, but a testament to writer Hayley Long's skill at pulling the rug out from underneath you.

The Nearest Far Away Place is a deeply felt rumination on grief and the bond between brothers and yet another highly readable teen novel from Hot Key

A powerful, poetic novel

a thought-provoking page-turner which addresses important issues and is a very absorbing read

A powerfully told story
