Description

The Delinquents is Criena Rohan's breakout novel of young love set in the rockin' '50s, now reissued as a Text Classic.

Brownie and Lola are in love—with each other, and with the exciting world of '50s Brisbane, with its rock'n'roll, new fashions, and fabulous hairdos.

In the eyes of the adult world (and of the law), these two lovebirds are simply juvenile delinquents, and they will stop at nothing to drive Brownie and Lola apart. Can their love survive?
