Product Description
Product Description
Maeve is 19, lives in Cork, and wants to be a punk, but she won't spit and doesn't really understand anarchy. She spends a lot of time eating chocolates and drinking cider at Curtains bar. This novel encapsulates the excitement of young friendships, love affairs, summer jobs and shared flats.

Why oh why has someone not reviewed this book yet? I can contrast this easily in terms of anarchism/70's lifestyle (but sans student life in Ireland) with Jo Brand's recent 'It's Different For Girls'. I found Ms Brand's book to be contrived both in terms of 70's anarchistic, rebellious teenager lifestyle and also family-life in general but not Ms Evans book.
Sadly I was a generation too late for the 70's teenager but I had friends who lived through it and remember vague bits of it as seen through a child's eyes. Maeve's story is a heart-rending stomp through her life from being at home taunted by her father to living the student lifestyle and desparately trying to fit in being a punk but finding parts of this lifestyle abhor her! Very funny and touching, I have read this book so many times, I even sort of wish there was a sequel, Ms Evans is a fabulous writer and I think this sort of book should be on the curriculum for teenagers everywhere. Gives one an understanding of how life changes dramatically and also advice to follow your dreams. Fantastic!
