More about the book

Anna Covey is a 'surplus'. She should not have been born. In a society in which aging is no longer feared, and death is no longer an inevitability, children are an abomination. Like all surpluses, Anna is living in Grange Hall and learning how to make amends for the selfish act her parents committed in having her. She is quietly accepting of her fate until one day when a new inmate arrives- a boy, who claims to know her parents. Anna's life is thrown into chaos. Is she brave enough to believe this mysterious boy? A tense and utterly compelling story.
