A heart wrenching love, secrets and deaths, One of the most extraordinarily great novels of the year.’ PAGES FROM MY THOUGHTS ‘The Storyteller is a spell-binding tale of love and violence and everything in between, one that is impossible to forget. ...thrilled to have discovered such a magnificent young-adult story and is determined to remember it for a long time.’ REALM OF FICTION ‘When I saw the synopsis of The Storyteller I was so intrigued, I knew I had to read it and I had to emerge myself entirely.
