Written from the perspectives of four female friends in the months between finishing primary school and starting high school, the girls inhabit an eerie, elemental landscape of normalised violence, poverty and neglect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a lyrical and graceful evocation of working-class girlhood that rings of Elena Ferrante's studies of female friendships in the Neapolitan novels, Didier Eribon's \u003cem\u003eReturning to Reims\u003c\/em\u003e, and Annie Ernaux's \u003cem\u003eThe Years\u003c\/em\u003e. It is a radical approach to girlhood and girl-friendships, the kind of skewered space before an imposition of gender, or before the trappings of gender make themselves strongly known. Innocence is tinged here with a kind of hidden menace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47384207884524,"sku":"9781915051066","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23179153482869.jpg?v=1773402826"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dawn-watson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
