My Sister Lives on Mantelpiece

Ten-year-old Jamie hasn`t cried since it happened. He knows he should have - Jasmine cried, Mum cried, Dad still cries. Roger didn`t, but then he is just a cat and didn`t know Rose that well, really. Everyone kept saying it would get better with time, but that`s just one of those lies that grown-ups tell in awkward situations. Five years on, it`s worse than ever: Dad drinks, Mum`s gone and Jamie`s left with questions that he must answer for himself. This is his story, an unflinchingly real yet heart-warming account of a young boy`s struggle to make sense of the loss that tore his family apart.
