Description 227 pages ; 20 cm regular print Summary "The Gault family leads a life of privilege in early 1920s Ireland, but the threat of violence leads the parents of nine-year-old Lucy to decide to leave for England, her mother's home. Lucy cannot bear the thought of leaving Lahardane, their country house with its beautiful land and nearby beach, and a dog she has befriended. On the day before they are to leave, Lucy runs away, hoping to convince her parents to stay."--cover Notes Originally published: London: Viking, 2002 Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2002 Subject Missing children -- Fiction.
