About The Book

Humming with the possibility of new love and nostalgia for simpler times, I Am the Cage is a stunning portrait of a young woman’s journey to find herself.

'Visceral, wrenching, and beautiful, Grant’s triumphant novel will stick with you.' JOHN GREEN, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars

Nineteen-year-old Elisabeth can finally breathe.

Her cosy cabin is perfectly remote, perfectly quiet, with nothing but books to keep her company. Here, she is safe – and far away from her family and the memories that haunt her.

But Elisabeth can’t stay hidden forever.

When a major snowstorm plunges the town into darkness, she reluctantly accepts help from her neighbour, Noah. As the two grow close, Elisabeth begins to realise she can longer outrun the past. Facing the dark might be the only way to let the light in.

'A tender, heartfelt story about the wounds childhood trauma can leave on its survivors. The sense of powerlessness – and redemption – will stay with you.' JOJO MOYES, #1 bestselling author of Me Before You
