___________'Tense, addictive and powered by an unforgettable narrative voice' PAULA HAWKINS'A darkly dazzling debut, a harrowing story of neglect and cruelty written with a delicate touch and a big heart.

I cannot overstate how much I loved this book' CLARE MACKINTOSH___________'So that was all it took,' I thought. 'That was all it took for me to feel like I had all the power in the world. One morning, one moment, one yellow-haired boy. It wasn't so much after all.'Chrissie knows how to steal sweets from the shop without getting caught, the best hiding place for hide-and-seek, the perfect wall for handstands.Now she has a new secret.

She is always worried - about affording food and school shoes, about what the other mothers think of her. Most of all she worries that the social services are about to take Molly away.That's when the phone calls begin, which Julia is too afraid to answer, because it's clear the caller knows the truth about what happened all those years ago.And it's time to face the truth: is forgiveness and redemption ever possible for someone who has killed?___________'An extraordinary and heart-rending novel' OBSERVER'The First Day of Spring is Nancy Tucker's first work of fiction and MY GOD this is OUTSTANDING . . .
