Claire Zorn - The Sky So Heavy

So how do you take that first step and reveal yourself when you’re not sure that people want to know the real you?

‘I loved it. It has three of my favourite ingredients: boarding school, great characters, and a lot of heart.’

‘What an angst-ridden, passionate and funny story!’

‘A beautiful debut told in a crisp, clear voice by an author who has expertly captured the struggle to find your identity, fall in love, and survive high school.’
