The Tarot Reader's Daughter

Rosa is surprised to discover tarot cards hidden in the wardrobe of her down-to-earth mum. Inextricably drawn to the cards, Rosa is rather shocked to find that she has a talent for using them - but even more shocked by her mother's fierce reaction to this. Unable now to resist the temptation to discover more, Rosa delves into her mother's background and finds it weirdly tangled with that of the mother of her new friend, Andy. As the two of them investigate what happened when their mothers were young, they tentatively develop their own feelings for each other too.

Excellent story, hot characters. This one just rattles along, with beautiful dialect dialogue and family tensions. Teenage girls who pore over horoscopes and worry about boys will love this one!
