Steal My Sunshine
Emily Gale
Review
by Kim Gruschow
Hannah feels like an outsider in her family. She is constantly at war with her older brother, and her parents’ relationship is struggling. Her best friend, Chloe, is lively and full of sass but their relationship is a source of tension too.
Meanwhile, Hannah’s grandmother Essie is a pillar of support and love, but also a source of worry and wonder. Essie has a dark and mysterious past that has been veiled for many years. As it comes cautiously to light, it provides Hannah and her family with a history that is necessary for their peace.
Taking place during a hot Melbourne summer, Steal My Sunshine has history, mystery and a little bit of romance. Hannah gains both clarity and confidence as she steps into adulthood, and author Emily Gale has created a great character in the anarchic Essie. The novel touches on many emotions experienced by teenagers and the lasting effects of trauma, while gently celebrating family and forgiveness.
