Über diesen Titel
Wryly humorous and scarifyingly honest, Coolamon Girl is a beautifully crafted memoir of a daughter terrified of her mother. Scarred by her mother's conservatism and palpable dislike of her body and her sexuality, Di escapes her fraught home life and the stultifying narrowness of her 1950s and '60s small country town. Feeling lost in the big outside world, she travels the bumpy journey into adulthood full of adolescent doubts and fears--how she looks, how others see her, how to navigate sex and love. And finally, she discovers what she values as a woman.
Told with clarity and poignancy, painful scenes are rendered unflinchingly, yet the whole is suffused with humor and compassion. Di's coming of age is a triumph of recovery from betrayal, and Coolamon Girl captures the glory of reaching for a bigger life and the power of the universal within the particular, as relevant today as when she lived it.
