THE WEIGHT OF SMALL THINGS
In a world full of busy adults, can one child find her voice?
Nine-year-old Frankie Appleton likes to count gates.
One day she hopes to design the perfect gate - a gate to keep the bad things out.
Little does she know that the bad things have already got in.
Now her mother is dead, and the only other person with a house key has disappeared.
Frankie thinks she knows who it is. But first she has to prove it.
This imaginative and unique story follows Frankie's investigation into her own mother's death. Armed with her trusted rucksack full of all her essential items, Frankie sets out from her new home, a high-rise council estate, back to where it all began, encountering a number of colourful and dark characters along the way.
The Weight of Small Things is a delicately brutal exploration of what lies behind closed doors, and of the secrets and lies that form the fabric of every family. It is as charming as it is chilling: a powerful and twisty read that stays with you long after you have finished reading.
Julie Lancaster lives in Staffordshire where she was born. She worked in academic and public libraries - writing in her spare time. She has been a travel agent, a university admissions assistant and a volunteer counsellor. She loves true crime and crime fiction. This is her first novel.
