Author(s): Nikki Gemmell

World fiction

The Book of Rapture is inspired by Nikki GemmellÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs love of - and fears for - her children in the wake of the London bombings in July 2005.
In its own way as intimate as The Bride Stripped Bare, it is a novel from the heart, about the enormous resilience of children, the desperate hopes of their parents, and a world familiar and terrifying where there are no longer any rules.
It is suspenseful, deeply felt, and provocative.
