Thrown together by a harrowing twist of fate, two girls
will find hope and redemption in friendship in this award-
winning, emotional gut punch of a novel from the author
of Bright Burning Things.
Sassy, streetwise Sammy is a teenage girl who is falling
through the cracks. Neglected by an alcoholic mother, the
problems she endures at school and home lead her into the
hands of adults who don't have her best interests in mind.
Failed by them at every turn, Sammy acts out, seeking
attention from boys, then men, when what she wants most is
protection.
Meanwhile, in a small village in Eastern Europe,
preternaturally beautiful and naïve Nico is about to
turn thirteen and as her family falls upon desperate times,
her father is approached to marry her off. Her family knows
that the nice life this stranger seems to be offering Nico
is too good to be true, but they and Nico hope for the best
as she’s shuttled across the border into Ireland,
where she and Sammy find one another in their new home, a
suburban brothel.
As Nico and Sammy journey into this dark underbelly and
out the other side, their friendship—and the
unexpected acts of kindness they give and receive—form
a potent bond.
Heartbreaking and breathtakingly beautiful, Cloud
Girls exposes the failings of polite society and the
cruelty that exists beneath its surface, yet reminds us that
goodness and love can flourish in the darkest times.
