Marlena written by Julie Buntin performed by Emma Galvin on CD (Unabridged)

Cat is fifteen and the lonely new girl in town. Until she meets her neighbour, the manic, beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat is quickly lured into Marlena's roller-coaster orbit by little more than an arched eyebrow and a shake of white-blonde hair. Within one intense, obsessive year of friendship, Marlena is ...

dead drowned in six inches of icy water in the woods nearby.

Decades later, when a ghost from that pivotal year surfaces unexpectedly, Cat must try again to move on, even as the memory of Marlena calls her back.

Marlena is a riveting, intelligent and brilliant novel from debut author Julie Buntin.
