Krátky popis
In this riveting, heartfelt debut, a young woman assumes a new name
to escape her dark past and find the redemption she desperately
seeks.“A terrific debut, told gently, honestly, and with a generous
amount of hope.”—New York Times bestselling author Jamie FordVenus
Black is a straitlaced A student fascinated by the study of
astronomy—until the night she commits a shocking crime that tears
her family apart and ignites a media firestorm. Venus refuses to
talk about what happened or why, except to blame her mother. Adding
to the mystery, Venus’s developmentally challenged younger brother,
Leo, goes missing.&,nbsp,More than five years later, Venus is
released from prison with a suitcase of used clothes, a fake
identity, and a determination to escape her painful past. Estranged
from her mother, and with her beloved brother still missing, she
sets out to make a fresh start in Seattle, skittish and alone. But
as new people enter her orbit—including a romantic interest and a
young girl who seems like a mirror image of her former lost
self—old wounds resurface, and Venus realizes that she can’t find a
future while she’s running from her past.&,nbsp,In this
gripping story, debut novelist Heather Lloyd brilliantly captures
ordinary lives thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Told
through a constellation of captivating voices, My Name Is Venus
Black explores the fluidity of right and wrong, the pain of
betrayal, and the meaning of love and family.Praise for My Name Is
Venus Black&,nbsp,“It’s impossible not to root for this strong,
willful girl as she finds her place in the world and for her
brother as he tries to make sense of it. A badass
bildungsroman.”—Kirkus Reviews&,nbsp,“Fans of realistic
coming-of-age fiction will enjoy Lloyd’s fast-paced first novel for
the freshly drawn original characters, compelling story line, and
beautiful tribute to the healing power of love. It’s bound to have
crossover appeal to older YA readers.”—Library Journal&,nbsp,“A
dark but ultimately uplifting story about family, love, and
forgiveness, and how to find your place in the world, My Name Is
Venus Black is a powerful debut novel from a fresh voice in
fiction.”—New York Times bestselling author Sarah Jio
