THE PENGUIN WOMEN WRITERS SERIES CELEBRATES THE CENTENARY OF WOMEN GETTING THE VOTE IN BRITAIN IN 1918.
'Fiercely intelligent, insatiably combative, McCarthy's novels invite controversy' Penelope Lively, from the introduction
Peter Levi, a shy and sensitive American teenager, moves to Paris to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War, where he is determined to live a life in harmony with his own idealistic views. But the world is changing at breakneck pace, with nuclear war looming abroad and racial tensions simmering at home. Before long, Peter's naïve illusions are shattered, as he finds himself an unwilling participant in an era of extraordinary change.
Birds of America is an unforgettable and deeply moving story of personal and political turmoil; of the strange and surprising nature of growing up; and of the questions we face when we examine who we really are.
'One of America's leading women of letters, a writer with a reputation for acerbic insights and penetrating prose' Guardian
