Dear Fang, With Love tells the story of seventeen-year-old Vera - ravishing, troubled, wildly intelligent.

After a decade of absence, her dad Lucas is newly involved in Vera's life. But when Vera's mental health starts to dramatically unravel, Lucas takes her to Lithuania, his grandmother's homeland, for the summer. Here, in Vilnius, Lucas hopes to save Vera from the sorrow of her diagnosis.

As Lucas uncovers a secret about his remarkable grandmother, a Home Army rebel, Vera searches for answers of her own. Why did her father abandon her as a baby? And who can she trust with the truth about what is happening to her?

Skillfully weaving personal and political histories, with a story of mania, inheritance, young love, and adventure, Rufi Thorpe has written a breathtakingly intelligent, emotionally enthralling masterpiece.
