In 'How I Live Now', fifteen-year-old Daisy is sent from Manhattan to England to visit her aunt and cousins she's never met. Soon after she arrives, her aunt goes away on business. The next day bombs go off as London is attacked and occupied by an unnamed enemy. As power fails, and systems fail, the farm where Daisy is staying becomes more isolated. Despite the war, this place becomes a kind of Eden, with no adults in charge and no rules, where Daisy's bond with her cousins grows into something extraordinary. However, the war is everywhere, and Daisy and her cousins must face a world that is unknown in the scariest, most elemental way. A riveting and astonishing story about survival and love in times of war.
American-British children's writer (born 1956)
