Ergebnis für "Pretty Girls" in Coming of Age

Kalifornien, 1969. Evie Boyd ist vierzehn und möchte unbedingt gesehen werden - aber weder die frisch geschiedenen Eltern noch ihre einzige Freundin beachten sie. Doch dann begegnet sie den Girls. Junge Frauen, die nicht von dieser Welt scheinen. Ihr lautes, freies Lachen. Das Haar lang und unfrisiert. Die ausgefransten Kleider. Unter ihnen ist auch die ältere Suzanne, der Evie verfällt. Mit ihnen zieht sie zu Russell, einem Typ wie Charles Manson, dessen Ranch tief in den Hügeln liegt. Gerüchte von Sex, wilden Partys, Einzelne, die plötzlich ausreißen. Evie gibt sich der Vision grenzenloser Liebe hin und merkt nicht, wie der Moment naht, der ihr Leben für immer zerstören könnte. Suzanne von Borsody liest Emma Clines Debüt mit sanfter, dunkler Stimme - sinnlich, verstörend, eindringlich.

She's perfect. He's not. She's the lead singer in a popular rock band. He's a tattoo artist. She's all perfect creases and fancy clothes. He's covered in prison ink. She's wealthy. He doesn't have a pot to piss in. She's good. He's bad. The question is - will she ever be good enough for him?

Get ready for a leap into nostalgia and childhood dreams. Contained are four short stories from the Secondary Epoch, a time between wars, when Unicorns still frolicked in woodland glades, magical winged creatures still gracefully flew in the skies above, with Dark Lords still exiled in depths, and evil somewhere between a distant memory and a future that seemed far and remote. See the realm through hopeful hazel green eyes and experience the magic as if for the very first time.
