Coming of Age
by Gretta Mulrooney

Gripping women’s fiction about an unusual friendship between a teenage girl and an older woman. This absorbing novel will take you back to being thirteen again.

A compelling novel of intrigue, growing up, and love for the wrong person by best-selling author Gretta Mulrooney

Martina is a thirteen-year-old girl struggling to cope with the loss of her father. So her new friendship with the wealthy Cecelia Buchanan offers a lifeline. The older woman opens up Martina to a new world of elegance and beauty, and encourages her artistic talents. But Cecelia shares her flat with the handsome Luca, a younger man, whose motives are not always clear.

This is an intriguing and beautifully written novel about that moment in life when you realise that the adult world is not always what it seems, and all the joy and pain of first loss and love.

Great for people who like Hilary Boyd, Jodi Picoult, Anne Enright, or Elena Ferrante

Genre: Modern and contemporary fiction: literary and general
