About the Book

Niccolo Ammaniti, the author of the hugely popular I'm Not Scared, has been described as 'the best novelist of his generation'. With this breathtaking novel, he has produced a small masterpiece.Lorenzo has a few issues. They include the fact that he doesn't have, or want, any friends. Because this is making his parents unhappy, he tells them he has been invited on a skiing holiday with a group from school. In fact, he is planning to spend the week happily ensconced in the cellar of their apartment building with a supply of canned tuna. Then his estranged older sister Olivia turns up in the cellar with some issues of her own. Over the next few days, as Lorenzo helps her through her heroin withdrawal, they form an intense bond. And Olivia reveals some secrets that the family have kept from Lorenzo. 'Niccolo Ammaniti is able to present both the innocence and egotism of children and the dark, threatening worlds they may inhabit in a convincing and gripping way...The novel is simply written but thematically rich.'

About the Author :
Niccoló Ammaniti was born in Rome in 1966. Steal You Away is his third novel and he has also published a collection of short stories. At thirty-four, he was the youngest ever winner of the prestigious Viareggio-Repaci prize. His novel, I’m Not Scared, an international bestseller, is currently taught in Australian schools, and the film adaptation directed by Gabriele Salvatores was released in 2004.

Review :
Me & You is a gem of a novel...Ammaniti writes with deliberate sparseness and is able to capture the angst of being different, being tired of societal constructions and the nature of family without fanfare...Italian writer Ammaniti has the ability to draw you in from the first page and not let you go until completion...This novel's story is bittersweet, subtle and wonderfully entertaining...Thank-you to Text Publishing for bringing his words to Australia. Readings Monthly Ammaniti has turned writing about the moral predicaments of adolescents in small-town Italy into an art-form, and this book is tragic and hilarious in equal measures...Verdict: stunning. Herald Sun Like his best-selling and justly lauded I'm Not Scared Niccolo Ammaniti's latest slim novel is spare, moving and insightful. Translated from Italian, the language is as beautiful as the story...The end is representative of the novel as a whole, touching and tender, with much left unsaid and unexplained and with a sense of emotional truth. Saturday Age 'This is one of those books that you read quickly, desperately wanting a happy ending. Then you read it again, slowly, revelling in the breathtaking narrative, the honesty of the emotion and the characters who stay in your thoughts well after the story ends.' Good Reading
