I don't know why it took me so long to finish this book but it's just so good. It so perfectly puts into words the eternal struggle that is mothers and daughters understanding each other. This book was written 30 years ago and the characters still feel like people I would go to school with. Its a perfect picture of modern Australia through the eyes of young people.
