Quatrième de couverture
It is the 1960s, in suburban New York City and twelve-year-old Maggie Scanlan begins to sense that despite the calm normality of her family everything is about to go horribly wrong...
When her all-powerful grandfather is struck down by a stroke Maggie is astonished to see her dispassionate father breakdown. Connie, her beautiful mother, is equally changed, becoming distant and unavailable. Matters only get worse when her cousin and her best friend start doing things to each other that leave Maggie confused about sex and terrified of sin.

'Quindlen is at her best writing about the dislocations of growing up, the blows a child does not see coming' Time
'The characters are quirky and vividly drawn... The writing is lovely, and shows humour and quiet insight... Quindlen is an intelligent and imaginative writer' The Boston Globe
Quatrième de couverture
It is the 1960s, in suburban New York City, and twelve-year-old Maggie Scanlan begins to sense that beneath the calm surface of her peaceful life, things are going strangely wrong.
When her all-powerful grandfather is struck down by a stroke, the reverberations affect Maggie s entire family. Her normally dispassionate father breaks down, her mother becomes distant and unavailable, and matters only get worse when her cousin and her best friend start doing things to each other that leave Maggie confused about sex and terrified of sin.
With all of this upheaval how can she be sure that what she wants is even worth having?
'Quindlen in an intelligent and imaginative writer'
Boston Globe
'Elaborate and playful ... Honest and deeply felt ... Here is the Quindlen wit, the sharp eye for the details of class and manners, [and] the ardent reading of domestic lives'
The New York Times

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good/Very Good. First Edition. A highly collectible first edition, tight clean copy protected in a new bro dart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. YA-- This first novel is an insightful family chronicle, an informed commentary on the '60s, and the coming-of-age depiction of a mother and daughter. As 13-year-old Maggie struggles with her identity within the boisterous Scanlan clan, her mother also finds her own place within the patriarchal family that has never accepted her. Both women experience rites of passage during the fateful summer that a housing development is being built behind their home, infringing on their emotional and physical spaces. A fast-paced plot involves small fires set in the development by Maggie's friends and romantic tension between her mother and a man from her past. Readers will appreciate Maggie's dilemmas as she grapples with peer pressure and sexual bewilderment, and as she begins to understand her mother, whose discontent oddly parallels her own.
