description: When her mother is knocked down and killed by a London bus fifteen-year-old Melon Fouraki is left with no family worth mentioning. Her mother Maria never did introduce Melon to a 'living breathing' father. The indomitable Auntie Aphrodite meanwhile is hundreds of miles away on a farm in Crete and is unlikely to be jumping on a plane and coming to East Finchley anytime soon. But at least Melon has 'The Story'. 'The Story' is the Fourakis family fairytale. A story is something. RED INK is a powerful coming-of-age tale about superstition denial and family myth.
