Charm & Strange: A Novel Reprint edition

The 2014 Winner of the William C. Morris Award

When you?ve been kept caged in the dark, it?s impossible to see the forest for the trees. It?s impossible to see anything, really. Not without bars . . .

 In Stephanie Kuehn's brilliant debut Charm & Strange, Andrew Winston Winters is at war with himself. 

No one really knows who Andrew Winston Winters is. Least of all himself. He is part Win, a lonely teenager exiled to a remote boarding school in the wake of a family tragedy. The guy who shuts the whole world out, no matter the cost, because his darkest fear is of himself. But he?s also part Drew, the angry boy with violent impulses that control him. The boy who, one fateful summer, was part of something so terrible it came close to destroying him.Sensitive, yet confronting. Unsettling . . . and utterly enthralling. Unlike anything you will have read before.
