The bestselling author of I'm Not Scared ';elegizes adolescence fiercely and sympathetically' in a novel that's ';scary, lovely and at last a heartbreaker' (Kirkus Reviews). Lorenzo Cuni is a fourteen-year-old loner. His wealthy parents think he is away on a school skiing trip, but in fact he has stowed away in a forgotten cellar. For a week he plans to live in perfect isolation, keeping the adult world at bay. Then a visit from his estranged half-sister, Olivia, changes everything. Evoking the fierce intensity and the pulse-quickening creepiness ofI'm Not Scared, Ammaniti's bestselling first novel,Me and Youis a breathtaking tale of alienation, acceptance, and wanting to be loved by ';a fearsomely gifted writer' (The Independent). ';Immensely engaging… Both tender and emotionally arresting, Ammaniti's novel is unforgettable.' Publishers Weekly, starred review ';Italian author Niccol Ammaniti does a lot in 160 pages, including surprise, humor, and frighten yousometimes simultaneously.' Daily Candy ';Ammaniti's prose is nimble, perceptive and economical… There's a lot to love about this bookits reticent empathy, its delicate and pragmatic treatment of addiction, its remarkable use of restricted physical space.' Full Stop ';Me and Youtakes a short time to read but offers a memorable experience in a mutual recognition of loneliness and grief.' Curled Up With a Good Book ';Me And You, at just over one hundred pages… [is a] perfect book… Niccol Ammaniti disgusts me for how talented he is… He has written a masterpiece.'
