Then I took a step forwards so I could get a proper look and the whole world went silent, frozen, darkness roaring in from the edges and only the girl´s face blazing white at the centre; because it was me. The tilt of the nose, the wide sweep of the eyebrows, every tiniest curve and angle clear as ice: it was me, blue-lipped and still, with shadows like dark bruises under my eyes.”

If you recognize the quotation, or if you think you are able to guess who wrote it, please post a comment. Just leave a hint, don´t spoil the fun by giving too much away. The book will be reviewed on Wednesday.
The author spent sometime in Malawi, I think.
SvarSletJose: and you are absolutely right.
SvarSletDorte - If I'm right, this title is very much a lookalike kind of title, isn't it?
SvarSletHappy New Year right back at you.
SvarSletHaven't a clue about the book, but love the box. Just wanted to say Happy New Year and wish wonderful things your way in 2011.
