Cautionary tales for excitable girls /

Casey-Hardy, Anne,

Cautionary tales for excitable girls / Anne Casey-Hardy. - Pymble, NSW : Simon & Schuster Australia, 2022. - 239 pages ; 21 cm.

Scheduled to be published August 2022.

Teenagers sneak out to the creek for a wild New Year's Eve party. A sleep-deprived woman who imagines she is pregnant to a Viking faces her scathing sixteen-year-old self. A woman in love wakes up in a van Gogh painting. These gem-like stories are about the desire to rush out and meet life; about getting in over your head; about danger, and damage, and what it means to survive - and not always survive - the risk of being young. They chart the borderlands between girls and women, daughters and mothers, freedom and fear.

Tertiary/Undergraduate, General.
