I Am the Cage by Allison Sweet Grant

I Am the Cage by Allison Sweet Grant

Humming with the possibility of new love and nostalgia for simpler times, I Am the Cage is a stunning portrait of a young woman’s journey to find herself. **************** 'Visceral, wrenching and beautiful, Grant’s triumphant novel will stick with you.' JOHN GREEN, #1 bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars 'A tender, heartfelt story about the wounds childhood trauma can leave on its survivors. The sense of powerlessness – and redemption – will stay with you.' JOJO MOYES, #1 bestselling author of Me Before You 'A beautiful and poetic book about the many ways pain, and love in all its forms, leaves a lasting stain.' KATHLEEN GLASGOW, #1 bestselling author of Girl in Pieces *************** Nineteen-year-old Elisabeth can finally breathe. Her cosy cabin is quiet. Isolated. Safe. She is determined to be alone – far away from everyone she knows and the memories that haunt her. When a snowstorm plunges the town into darkness, Elisabeth reluctantly accepts help from Noah, the town’s young sheriff. As the two grow close, Elisabeth begins to realise that she can’t stay hidden forever; embracing the dark might be the only way to let the light in.

'Heartfelt, human and trueI loved it.' Markus Zusak, bestselling author of The Book Thief

'Allison Sweet Grant is a natural storyteller with the keen eye and ear of a poet... I Am the Cage is a story of love, resilience, and healing. What a beautiful, moving, and insightful debut.' Maggie Smith, bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful

'Deftly explores medical trauma. The accuracy we might expect - [Grant's] background is as a pyschiatric nurse practitioner - but the lyricism is a delightful surprise. This is a quiet, thoughtful book that delves into pain, and what we might today call medical gaslighting... This elegant novel. Read with tissues, and sticky-notes to mark the bits that are particularly eloquent on chronic pain.' Claire Hennessy for the Irish Times
