YA
After Declan, sixteen, and his little sister find the body of a housebreaker in a vacant house belonging to his family, he begins to have visions of his mother, who disappeared six years ago. In wonderfully subtle sequences, Declan slides in and out of memory, rediscovering the woman who caused the family such pain. Equal parts tricky and haunting: unambiguously memorable.
