Lark Summary

Lark by Anthony McGowan

WINNER OF THE 2020 CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL.

Things are tense at home for Nicky and Kenny. Their mum's coming to visit and it will be the first time they've seen her in years. A lot has changed since they were little and Nicky's not so sure he's ready to see her again. When they head for a trek across the moors to take their minds off everything, a series of unforeseen circumstances leaves the brothers in a vulnerable and very dangerous position. There might even be a chance that this time not everyone will make it home alive...

Lark Reviews

A standalone masterpiece -- Chair of Judges, CILIP Carnegie Medal


Heart-rending but perfectly pitched ... life-affirming -- The Guardian


Funny, scatological, terrifying, heartwarming and heartbreaking -- Sunday Times


Never have three sparsely written novellas packed such an emotional punch. Not a word is wasted and, for me, they are the absolute definition of the word 'classic' -- Phil Earle, Guardian
