Mine — Caroline Pitcher

Shelley hears voices from the Mine... They are ancient, troubled and forgotten... She can't help but listen as they use her to make sense of their own past, but can she use their wisdom and experience to make sense of her own present and future? Only Time will tell. Or does the Mine hold another, deeper, darker secret..? As Shelley tries to unravel the mystery of her own past, will she ever truly understand where she belongs? 'It's not mine. Nothing is!' Shelley's 17th winter will change her life forever... Award-winning author Caroline Pitcher expertly explores the changing bonds of relationship between mothers and daughters in this intriguing, centuries- spanning novel. 'An unusual and moving story of a girl unwillingly tuned into voices from the past... remarkable', The Times Top Three Teen Books On my 'I Wish I'd Written' list, Berlie Doherty 'Vivid, beautifully written, couldn't put it down', Nicola Ho
