Beschreibung

';A quirky coming-of-age story ... Female adolescence as imagined by one of the 20th century's bestand most peculiarwriters' (Kirkus Reviews). Originally published in 1977, Jane GardamsBilgewateris an affectionate and complex rendering-in-miniature of the discomforts of growing up and first love seen through the eyes of inimitable Marigold Green, an awkward, eccentric, highly intelligent girl.The Evening StandarddescribedBilgewateras ';one of the funniest, most entertaining, most unusual stories about young love.' Motherless and sixteen, Marigold is the headmaster's daughter at a private backwater all-boys school. To make matters worse, Marigold pines for head boy Jack Rose, reckons with the beautiful and domineering Grace, and yanks herself headlong out of her interior world and into the seething cauldron of adolescence. With everything happening all at once, Marigold faces the greatest of teenage crucibles. A smart and painterly romp in the rich tradition ofThe Hollow LandandA Long Way from Verona, Gardam's elegant, evocative prose, possessed of sharp irony and easy surrealism makesBilgewatera book for readers of all ages. ';This is no ordinary bildungsroman.' New Pages ';A striking story.' Times Literary Supplement
