Thus begins the story of the young Nastja, who has not spoken a single word since 452 days. Since it happened to him ...
But she has so much to say ... but she chose to take refuge in silence, and it is her diary she confides every night. "Three and a half pages" in which the reader assembles the pieces of the puzzle to find out who destroyed.
Powerless, his family strives to maintain contact with her. Worried about his psychological fragility, they decide to send him to live with her aunt, hoping that distance will help to rebuild, and to be open to others. Terminal When she registered in a high school where no one knows, it takes on a completely different personality. Provocative, aggressive, she did not need words to get the message: she wants to be left to his solitude. The good girl until she was becoming a broken doll in black look that also looks she launches to those who dare to approach.
But one day, her eyes alight on Josh. Drawn against her will by this taciturn young man that only the woodwork seems to animate, she tries to get her attention. And everything changes again ...
With simplicity and sincerity, Katja Millay explores the human emotions to deliver the essence, through characters that we love from the first lines. If revenge is the heart of this first novel, yet it is the passion in all its forms that emanates. Nastja passion when she talks about what was stolen from him. Carnal passion of Josh when working the wood. Then the birth passion of these two teenagers that life has not spared.
In 2013, "Sea of Tranquility", its original version, received the award for best book of the year, awarded by the School Library Journal. A deserved award!
