Torn wings
Travel to 1950s New Orleans! A reissue of the second novel by Ruta Sepetys.
The year is 1950. The French Quarter of New Orleans is simmering with secrets, and seventeen-year-old Josie Moraine has to find a way not to get burnt. To the locals, she's known only as the daughter of a prostitute, but she wants much more than the city can offer. She devises a plan to break free from its grasp, but a mysterious death in the Quarter entangles her in a dangerous investigation. Josie finds herself on the edge, caught between her dream of university and the grime of the underworld. Can she stand on her own two feet and make all her dreams come true?
Ruta Sepetys
Ruta Sepetys was born and lives in the USA, but she has European roots – her Lithuanian father fled to America after the Second World War. Ruta has not forgotten her heritage or the history of Europe; on the contrary, she draws inspiration from it. She is the author of highly acclaimed historical prose, published in more than fifty countries around the world and translated into over thirty languages. Among her most successful books is the novel Salt to the Sea, about the maritime disaster of the ship Wilhelm Gustloff.
