The Hiding Place

This exceptional novel about family, love, and the innocence and terror of childhood was one of the most applauded and auspicious debuts of the last year. Set in a Maltese immigrant community in Cardiff, Wales, and peopled with sharp-edged, luminously drawn characters, "The Hiding Place" is the story of Frankie Gauci's unforgivable betrayal: gambling away his family's livelihood and eventually the family itself.
