Trent Dalton Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Was siehst du, wenn du in den Spiegel schaust? Ein Mädchen und seine Mutter sind seit Jahren auf der Flucht – vor ihrer Vergangenheit, und vor der Polizei. Einen Namen hat das Mädchen nicht, denn Namen sind gefährlich, wenn man sich versteckt hält. Das Leben spielt sich nun in einem Van auf dem Schrottplatz am Brisbane River ab und könnte trister nicht sein. Doch das Mädchen hat einen Traum: Es will Künstlerin werden, fernab der kriminellen Welt Brisbanes. Und dann ist da noch dieser Junge, auf der anderen Seite des Flusses, für den das Mädchen sich immer mehr erwärmt. Doch um ihre Träume zu verwirklichen braucht es Hilfe, und die einzige Person, die ihm helfen kann, ist Lola. Lola im Spiegel. Der internationale Bestsellerautor Trent Dalton liefert einen großen, bewegenden, düster-komischen, gewalttätigen, herzzerreißenden und schönen Roman über Liebe und Schicksal, Leben und Tod und all die Dinge, die wir sehen, wenn wir in den Spiegel schauen: unsere ganze Vergangenheit, unsere Gegenwart und unsere mögliche Zukunft.
