From a bag of books donated for wild releasing - Amazon Synopsis:
"Blamed by her parents for the tragic death of a friend, Clodagh has been banished from their home in the countryside to a dingy basement flat in the city. Her life is transformed when she meets the inhabitants on the top floor of 15 Russia Road. An exotic range of young people who explore a London of roofs, eaves and ledges, thrilling in the freedom and danger. Clodagh, haunted still by the accident, finds that running the roofs brings her back to life, but it seems that tragedy and misfortune may not be done with her yet. Barbara Vine's 10th novel, Grasshopper is an enthralling, chilling novel that mirrors Vine's acclaimed London Underground novel King Solomon's Carpet."

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
This was really disappointing for me, because it was tremendously boring!! I made it to the end - after all it is Barbara Vine! - but I could not found any interesting development. I am a little puzzled about this, but maybe my language skills are just insufficient :-(
Anyway - happy crosssing, hopefully another reader will be happy with this book.
