That's the sort of protective rage you feel for Daley Amory, the narrator of Lily King's novel Father of the Rain.' Elle 'King is a beautiful writer' New York Times 'Spellbinding... You won't be able to stop reading this book.' Vanity Fair 'It's impossible not to be drawn in' Daily Mail 'Masterful... Heart-breaking... I wanted to shut my eyes, and couldn't because I couldn't stop reading. When I finished, I cried for us all.' Sarah Blake, author of The Postmistress
