Bog beskrivelse

‘Touching and funny, Alison Gangel''s memoir is an exceptionally honest and brave piece of writing.'' Anne Donovan
''A gleaming gem of a memoir'' Daily Express
________________________
Seven-year-old Ailsa Dunn''s Ma is prettier than all the other mothers, her Da is the most handsome man in the world. They''re made for each other... But the grown-up world is more complicated than that, and when alcohol intrudes, violence becomes the norm and unpredictability reigns - and the ground shifts beneath Ailsa''s small feet.

Ailsa and her big sister Morag - both Ailsa''s cruellest tormentor and her staunchest defender - are removed from the care of their adored parents and enrolled at McGregor''s Orphan Homes, a world away from their Wallace Street tenement. Here, the rules are strict: there are chores, there are curfews, the ever-present threat of Auntie Vera and bitter resignation as visits from Ma and Da become fewer and further between. But there''s also fish and chips, a holiday by the sea, a pillowcase full of toys at Christmas and, life-changing for Ailsa, an inspirational teacher and the chance discovery of a rare musical talent that will give her the opportunity to take her future into own hands.

The Sun Hasn''t Fallen From the Sky is a vibrant portrait of two sisters growing up together in 1970s Glasgow as their family falls apart; a tender childhood memoir both heartbreaking and uplifting.
