The Year of the Ladybird
A Horror, Historical, Coming Of Age book. This is the U.S. version of THE YEAR OF THE LADYBIRD. I couldn't wait...
David, a college student, takes a summer job at a run-down family resort in a dying English resort town. This is against the wishes of his family because it was at this resort that David's biological father disappeared fifteen years earlier--but something undeniable has called David there.Something different is happening in this town. David is haunted by eerie visions of a mysterious man carrying a rope, walking hand-in-hand with a small child, and the resort is under siege by a plague of ladybugs. When David gets embroiled in a fiercely torrid love triangle, the stakes turn more and more menacing, and through it all, David feels as though he is getting closer to the secrets of his own past.

More About The Year of the Ladybird

The reservoirs were cracked and dry; some of the towns were restricted to water from standpipes; crops were falling in the fields. England was a country innocent of all such extremity. I was nineteen and I'd just finished my first year at college. The storyteller is David Barwise,... This is the U.S. version of THE YEAR OF THE LADYBIRD. I couldn't wait for it, so I ordered it from Amazon UK. It is terrific, like all of Graham's novels.
