Emily Perkins

The New Girl (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In a small town in New Zealand, lifelong friends, Rachel, Julia and Chicky, are celebrating the end of school, enjoying the liminal space of the summer holidays before their lives will be transformed by university, careers and adulthood. The arrival of Miranda, an exotically beautiful and charismatic woman, will have a profound effect on the ostensibly concrete bond between the girls, revealing long-ignored cracks in their friendships. In The New Girl, Emily Perkins employs her sharp wit and incisive eye to demonstrate the profoundly destructive effects of resentment, mistrust and lies.

Rezensionen

Perkins has a wonderfully light touch; she is a master of dialogue and plain speech, a casual Carver for our times
