Helen said Caroline Smailes' debut novel, In Search of Adam, was the best book she read in 2007 "by far". I loved it too, so I was thrilled to see the gorgeous cover of Caroline's next book, Black Boxes, on her site.
When we interviewed Caroline back in April, she told us a bit about Black Boxes:
[It's] a story in two parts - box one and box two. It's loosely based on the idea of the black boxes that are extracted from a plane wreck. The reader is to unravel the story to find the cause of the 'crash.' The voices are of a mother and a daughter, focusing on sounds and lost words.
It sounds like another wonderful read, but we'll have to wait until June 2008.
