Elissa Soave: Common Ground, Gebunden

Klappentext

A love letter to community and the power of activism, from the author of Ginger and Me and Graffiti Girls.

Germaine only accepted the job at the Kenmar allotments for a fresh start. Far from anyone who knows her history she can focus on work and tending to her own plot. Most of the other plot-holders keep to themselves and that suits her just fine.

But when the local council announces plans to turn the allotments into luxury housing, Germaine finds herself leading a battle to save the place that has become a sanctuary for fractured souls.

Amidst crumbling sheds and overgrown paths, the rag-tag band plan protests, forge alliances and uncover long-buried secrets. Soon they'll learn that the allotments aren't just plots of land but a place to belong. Praise for Common Ground
