Quite enjoyed this, although it lost momentum a bit towards the end. The tale of Swanna, a young 14 year old girl, let down by her parents, struggling to make sense of the incoming adult world. Looking for escape she starts an affair with a married man. Swanna is a great character, smart, witty, not able to realise when she's in over her head. Her brother Manning is also great. You really fear for him as he gets older. The end didn't really work for me which was a shame!
