    <![CDATA[This is the story of Gemma and me: how I lost her, I suppose. I don't usually tell it to anyone but myself;<br/> I save it for the darkest moments. <br/><br/> <em>Losing Gemma</em> is one of the hottest fiction debuts of the summer. A first novel being compared to Alex Garland's breakthrough novel, <em>The Beach</em>-except the backpacking heroes are girls. And it's already being translated into nine languages. <br/><br/> What makes <em>Losing Gemma</em> truly unforgettable, however, is the read itself; it's as gripping and suspenseful as it is psychologically rich. Two young women have gone looking for adventure, backpacking through India-but only one returns. The other one believes it's all her fault. And the mystery behind what really happened during their fateful visit to a secluded shrine compels the reader forward to a page-turning conclusion that's shocking, strange, and haunting.]]>

    <![CDATA[This is the story of Gemma and me: how I lost her, I suppose. I don't usually tell it to anyone but myself;<br/> I save it for the darkest moments. <br/><br/> <em>Losing Gemma</em> is one of the hottest fiction debuts of the summer. A first novel being compared to Alex Garland's breakthrough novel, <em>The Beach</em>-except the backpacking heroes are girls. And it's already being translated into nine languages. <br/><br/> What makes <em>Losing Gemma</em> truly unforgettable, however, is the read itself; it's as gripping and suspenseful as it is psychologically rich. Two young women have gone looking for adventure, backpacking through India-but only one returns. The other one believes it's all her fault. And the mystery behind what really happened during their fateful visit to a secluded shrine compels the reader forward to a page-turning conclusion that's shocking, strange, and haunting.]]>
