Without preamble or fanfare, an unidentified enemy attacks and war ensues. Her aunt is abroad on a peace mission, meaning that Daisy and her three cousins, with whom she forges a remarkable relationship, must survive almost entirely on their own. This is a very relatable contemporary story, told in honest, raw first-person and filled with humor, love, pathos, and carnage. War, as it will, changes these young people irrevocably, not necessarily for the worse. They and readers know that no one will ever be the same. The story of Daisy and her three exceptional cousins, one of whom becomes her first lover, offers a keen perspective on human courage and resilience. An epilogue, set six years after the conclusion, while war still lingers, ends Daisy's story on a bittersweet, hopeful note."--Kirkus Reviews"Intense and startling...heartbreakingly romantic"--The Times"How I Live Now is the book everyone over twelve should read this summer...it's a classic-in-waiting"--TES"Fresh,honest,rude,funny.I put it down with tears on my face"--Julie Myerson,Guardian"An unforgettable adventure"--Sunday Times
