Sobre este título
'I loved this book . . . raw, grungy and frenetic'
Alice Slater, author of Let the Bad Times Roll
'Part Virgin Suicides, part Veronica Mars'
Louise Hegarty, author of Fair Play
'Effervescently paced and outrageously funny . . . jaw-dropping'
Luke Kennard, author of The Transition
'I was totally absorbed . . . amazing and unlike anything else'
Saraid de Silva, author of Amma
The Bastards aren't afraid of anything.
It's the mid-nineties, and in the small, shitty coastal town of Vincent, four girls - each hailing from single-mother, multi-sibling families, form a band: The Bastards. Friends since they were children, they consider themselves 'forgettable girls' - distracted, disillusioned, and desperate to escape the fates of their mothers.
Winning the Battle of the Bands is their ticket out - they might not have talent, but they can play three chords and scream until their vocal folds burst out of their throats - and nobody wants it more than them.
But when lead singer Lily Lucid quits, and accuses their idolized music teacher of sexual assault, the three remaining girls are left with nothing. They'll do anything to keep their dream alive, even if it means sacrificing school, Lily and their mothers. But how far out of control can they spin before there's no turning back?©2026 Liz Allan
Resumo da Crítica
I loved this book: as raw, grungy and frenetic as Nirvana's Nevermind, In Bloom smells like disillusioned teen spirit (Alice Slater, author of Let the Bad Times Roll)
What a novel! In Bloom is effervescently paced and outrageously funny, but as deep as the hope and angst that drives its protagonists. A perfectly detailed encapsulation of an era we've collectively not quite gotten over. It's also a jaw-dropping exercise in perspective with one of the most brilliantly conceived denouements I've encountered. (Luke Kennard, author of The Transition)
