Description
A poignant coming-of-age story about adolescent love and loss, Ms Ice Sandwich is a witty and moving tale of obsession, friendship, and growing up. A young boy becomes fixated on a woman who sells sandwiches at a supermarket counter, drawn to her beauty and aloof demeanour. As he watches her work, the boy's life is complicated by his grandmother's illness, faltering friendships, and the complexities of growing up. Yet, in this world of imagination, he finds solace and connection with a classmate who invites him to join her in thrilling games and fantasy. This beautifully written novel explores the naivety and wisdom of youth, offering a poignant and intimate portrayal of adolescence.
