Alison Smith Boeken

Op een koele zomeravond kibbelt Alison met haar oudere broer Roy over de afwas. Als ze de volgende ochtend opstaat, is de afwas gedaan, maar Roy- achttien jaar en net geslaagd voor zijn eindexamen- is dood: omgekomen bij en auto-ongeluk op de vroege zondagmorgen. Na zijn dood zoekt Alison haar heil in boeken. Als ze maar kon ontdekken hoe ruimte, tijd, licht en beweging met elkaar verbonden zijn in de vierde dimensie, dan zou Roy kunnen terugkeren. Haar moeder, behendig in het doen alsof nare dingen niet gebeuren, ziet niet dat haar dochter wegkwijnt. Als haar achttiende verjaardag nadert, besluit Alison dat ze niet ouder wil worden dan Roy. Noem alle dieren is een flonkerend en ontroerend verhaal over liefde en verlies. Glashelder en treffend, met humor en nooit sentimenteel beschrijft Alison Smith hoe het leven van slag is als de dood zijn intrede doet.
