The Girl with the Red Scarf

By Andrea Hicks

Have you ever fallen in love with someone... because you just knew?

Tom Alexander has no memory of his life at House in the Hills orphanage on the outskirts of Sarajevo, or of his birth parents, the ones whose faces he wants to see, but doesn't remember. When he receives a letter from ChildAbroad, the agency that arranged his adoption in 1994, he is offered the opportunity to search for the boy he once was, Andreij Kurik-if he returns to Sarajevo. With Sulio Divjak, the driver and interpreter Tom befriends, he searches the derelict orphanage and uncovers a faded photograph in Andreij's file of a girl wearing a red scarf.

She looks like Ellie; the girl Tom fell in love with at first sight in a caf? in Regent's Park. Devastated when he realises what it could mean, Tom goes back to London to get some answers. Accompanied by Ellie he returns to Sarajevo to find his birth parents, only to receive news that destroys everything he thought he knew about Tom Alexander-and Andreij Kurik.
