'"I remember when we lay together for the first time and I closed my eyes and felt the crackle of her dark hair between my fingers. She was all warmth and sparking light. When I was with her, my skin sighed that the centre of the world was precisely here."

'Anna is afraid she must be unlovable - until she meets Flynn. Together, the girls swim, eat banana cake, laugh and love. Some days Flynn is unreachable; other days she's at Anna's door - but when Anna discovers Flynn's secret, she wonders if she knows her at all.

1 6 y separately published work icon My Candlelight Novel Joanne Horniman , Crows Nest : Allen and Unwin , 2008 Z1517284 2008 single work novel young adult 'It will be about birth and death and love and sex, and I will tell it very quiet and slow, so if you want big bangs of action and excitement it's best you stop reading right now. I will make it something after my own heart, tender and dark, a little candlelight novel, started this late summer night as my lover and baby daughter sleep in the big bed in the corner, and my sister Kate leans thoughtful and sleepless against the railing of the dark verandah outside ... So writes Sophie O'Farrell, 22 year-old single mother, university student, reader, writer. She pushes her baby through the streets of Lismore, remembering, meeting people, observing the beauty and ugliness of everyday life, falling in love, and finally, telling all.'--Provided by publisher.
