- Summary:
- 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.
