Since her release from Liberty, Anya Balanchine is determined to follow the straight and narrow. Unfortunately, her criminal record is making it hard for her to do that. Plus, all the people in her life have moved on: Natty has skipped two grades at Holy Trinity, Scarlet and Gable seem closer than ever, and even Win is in a new relationship. But when old friends return demanding that certain debts be paid, Anya is thrown right back into the criminal world that she had been determined to escape. It’s a journey that will take her across the ocean and straight into the heart of the birthplace of chocolate where her resolve--and her heart--will be tested as never before.
PRAISE
Praise for All These Things I've Done:
"The love story’s to die for, and the tangled web of relationships will keep readers intrigued to the last page." —Kirkus Reviews
"The achingly realistic romance between this latter-day Romeo and Juliet...will attract readers as surely as chocolate attracts…mobsters" —The Horn Book
"The talented Zevin writes Anya and Win’s high-wire romance as jolting for both the participants and readers...The breath-catching ending leaves everyone expecting more." — Booklist (starred review) GABRIELLE ZEVIN is the author of Elsewhere, Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, and All These Things I've Done, as well as two novels for adults. Of her writing, The New York Times Book Review said, “Zevin’s touch is marvelously light even as she considers profundities.” She lives in New York City. Learn more online at memoirsofa.com.
