Описание: "Too much trouble, and you'll end up just like your crazy mother."Maeve was six when they took her mother away, and left her in the care of her Uncle Lou: a drunk, a misogynist, a fraud.
For eleven years she's lived with him in Falside's slums, deep in the silt of the Falwere River. She bottles his miracle medicine, stocks his apothecary shop, and endures his savage temper.
But as his violence escalates, and his lies come undone, she devises a plan to escape him forever. Even if it means people have to die.
A dark and gripping thriller set in a future dystopia. If you like stories of oppressive governments, genetic selection, mass murder, and the fight for freedom, if you look for unlikely heroes and always root for the underdog, you'll love The Bottle Stopper.
"Angeline Trevena, with her ever fertile imagination, creates dystopian visions of the future that are both innovative and chilling."Tony Benson, author of An Accident of Birth
