Mother Tongue [EPUB ebook] 

If you leave home, is your heart left behind?



Darya Ivanova is looking forward to September. She has looked after her little sister, Nika, since she was a baby. Now Nika is starting school. Maybe Darya can find a job with her own tidy desk. Perhaps even a boyfriend. But when an unimaginable tragedy strikes, Darya’s life plans are fractured. Stalled. She is afraid. What if she never knows real love? What if she never finds somewhere she belongs?



If only she could get to Moscow. There, Darya could escape. There, she could become someone else . . .
