Review:
'An elegiac farewell to the golden groves of childhood, a slim, sad coming-of-age tale in the great tradition of Carson McCullers' The Member of the Wedding or even Salinger's Catcher in the Rye... Prose modulates beautifully from acute grief to a more ambient tristesse, littering her tale with sharp observations about the way that loss punctuates the everyday for Nico and her distraught parents.' Sarah Churchwell, Guardian 'Books of the Year'

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At the center of Francine Prose's profoundly moving new novel is a young girl facing the consequences of sudden loss after the death of her sister. As her parents drift toward their own risky consolations, thirteen-year-old Nico is left alone to grope toward understanding and clarity, falling into a seductive, dangerous relationship with her sister's enigmatic boyfriend. Over one haunted summer, Nico must face that life-changing moment when children realize their parents can no longer help them. She learns about the power of art, of time and place, the mystery of loss and recovery. But for all the darkness at the novel's heart, the narrative itself is radiant with the lightness of summer and charged by the restless sexual tension of teenage life. "Goldengrove" takes its place among the great novels of adolescence, beside Henry James's "The Awkward Age" and L. P. Hartley's "The Go-Between."
