"I love life so much I never want it to end..." I was born and I loved life. I was very lucky. And then, like all of us, I discovered death. It was a Tuesday afternoon and Thirsty the goldfish had died. I was very sad, but what was worse, far worse, was that I was told that one day I was also going to die This little unwelcome piece of information really put a spin on my world and the way I looked at it. I started not liking life so much as I once had. I watched how others reacted differently to this piece of information. It stays with us like a hovercraft just beyond the ears and years and flamingo-coloured fears. All of this will one day be over. It makes us do strange things, this hovercraft. My hovercraft is magenta. How was I going to get all the way back to loving life, whilst also living beside this hovercraft?Always Rose is the fourth of five books in the Past Life Library series where the girl becomes the author: Clare-Rose Trevelyan.
