Tape

Tape is an outstanding debut. Told with crackling prose, shimmering with humour and deeply moving, it will haunt anyone who reads it...Record a voice and it lasts forever...In 1993, Ryan records a diary on an old tape. He talks about his mother's death, about his dreams, about his love for a new girl at school who doesn't even know he exists. In 2013, Ameliah moves in with her grandmother after her parents die. There, she finds a tape in the spare room. A tape with a boy's voice on it - a voice she can't quite hear, but which seems to be speaking to her. Ryan and Ameliah are connected by more than just a tape. This is their story.

Ryan wiped the condensation from the samll circular bathroom miror with his fingers ascraping ice from the window of a dug-up frozen submarine. A world War II  sub discovered near the North Pole years after it was lost at sea. He pictured seeing the solid face of some old naval officer, frost in his moustache, eyes wide staring out , frozen in the  panic of realising he was about to be stuck forever.

He lowred his hand and saw only his own face,thirteen years old, flushed from the  heat of the  bath , his thick dark hair slicked back from getting out of the water.

Whenever Ryan looed into the mirror he  felt an urge to slap himself in the face . Not because  he was angry with himself and the face. not because he was angry with himself and thounght he deserved it , more bacause he'd seen it in a film once. The private investigator character staring at himself  in the mirror after a crazy night of action and danger and slapping himself to make sure he was focused for a new day on the job.
