I don't usually tell it to anyone but myself;<br> I save it for the darkest moments. <br><br> <i>Losing Gemma</i> is one of the hottest fiction debuts of the summer. A first novel being compared to Alex Garland's breakthrough novel, <i>The Beach</i>-except the backpacking heroes are girls. And it's already being translated into nine languages. <br><br> What makes <i>Losing Gemma</i> 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. 1236620 2002 Losing Gemma total:145|5:24|4:60|3:44|2:14|1:3| 145 523 189 17 4 1 false false Thu Jul 26 11:05:44 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 26 11:54:50 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Apr 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 04:15:09 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 04:15:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Jul 15 16:23:57 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 16:24:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jan 19 19:09:36 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 19:10:06 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 16 03:04:21 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 16 03:04:21 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jul 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 29 22:44:50 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 20:52:15 -0700 2008
