Catching frogs, grazing knees, singing songs to save England from Hitler - that was childhood for Del Jordan and now she's impatient for more. More than she can find in the encyclopaedias sold by her mother, or in the half-understood innuendos dispensed by best friend Naomi, or in the whispers of boys during Friday night dances. Just like the girls in the movies, Del wants to get started on real life.
In her only novel, Alice Munro turns her eye to the glee and bewilderment of adolescence, and to the brushes with sex, death and violence that shape the lives of girls and women.
