About this listen

 Clare Rivers longs to understand the world, but first she must learn to understand herself ...

Born in the 1960s on a UK apple farm, Clare Rivers is a girl out of time, living in a family and a world that makes little sense to her.

Determined to carve out her place somehow, and with her deep love of her father to see her through, Clare begins a unique journey to discover the reasons for her own existence. If she can.

However, accompanied by the oddities of family, school and the strange lyrical life of the apples, can Clare really find a place within herself to call home?

This novel will appeal to lovers of rural life, recent history and a child's quirky but clear-sighted view of the adult world.

Reviews:

"Such a beautiful, gentle book, telling the story of Clare's life from birth to adolescence. A delightful and intriguing tale of a child who feels herself to be different, who neither fits in nor understands the people around her. I loved it and read it in one sitting." (5-star Amazon review)

"The only way to absorb Anne Brooke's gift of a child's perception of the world is to read the book. It is a joy!" (5 star Amazon review)

"This is a fun, well-written novel that both adults and children will enjoy. It's joyful, funny, touching, and unforgettable. If you're lucky enough to have a daughter, read this one with her. You'll both be happy you did." (5 star Amazon review)
