"I was dying, of course, but then we all are."

How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff
New York, N.Y. : Wendy Lamb Books, c2004.






A shockingly fresh and engaging book, ‘How I Live Now’ focuses on Daisy, a cool Manhattinite sent to stay with her English cousins in the countryside in the near future. She falls instantly and deeply in love with her cousins (each of them in slightly different ways). Shortly after her arrival, war breaks out, and with her cousins, she is forced to try and live through it. Taught, passionate, full and luminous, this is a modern classic.
