Kala - Colin Walsh

It's 2003 and the long hot days of summer seem endless to a group of teenage friends with reckless Kala Lanann at their centre. But then Kala vanishes and, 15 years later, human remains are discovered in the woods.

With two more girls missing, can Kala's friends put aside their estrangement and find the truth behind why she disappeared?

Why not join us for a discussion of award-winning Irish writer Colin Walsh's first novel. Variously described as suspenseful, mesmerising, explosive and highly addictive, the only disadvantage of this book seems to be that you won't be able to put it down.

Praise from The Guardian: "Using narration by three distinct voices, Walsh brilliantly conveys the cruelty, self-absorption and vulnerability of teenagers."
