Synopsis
In her dazzling first book Julie Orringer dives the private world of childhood and immerses us in its fears and longings: the jealous friendships and the bitter sibling battles; the parents that row and the boys that won't dance with you. Then, in a voice that is equally tender and compassionate, she reminds us of those rare, exhilarating moments of victory.

"An amazing debut. Conjures the same exhilaration I felt on reading Lorrie Moore's Self-Help and Melissa Bank's The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing" - Daily Telegraph
