'GORGEOUSLY WRITTEN' DEBORAH HARKNESS _______ Taryn Cornick barely remembers the family
library. Since her sister was murdered she's forgotten so much. Now it's all coming back. The
fire. The thief. The scroll box. People are asking questions about the library. Questions that
might relate to her sister's murder. And something called The Absolute Book. A book in which
secrets are written - and which everyone believes only she can find. They insist Taryn be the
hunter. But she knows the truth. She is the hunted . . . The Absolute Book is a tale of sisters
ancient blood a forgotten library murder revenge and a book that might just have the answer
to everything. _______ 'An instant classic . . . A work to rank alongside other modern
masterpieces of fantasy such as Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series or Susanna Clarke's
