OLDER FICTION
Laure, Estelle

This Raging Light

(2) YA High schooler Lucille's mother has been gone for weeks, leaving Lu in charge of nine-year-old sister Wren. Lu is determined to keep this a secret from anyone who could split them up, though maintaining the ruse is increasingly difficult. Lu's beyond-her-years maturity feels credible thanks to astute characterization. This debut stands out for Laure's ability to put tough feelings into beautiful prose.
