About ebook : The Torn Skirt: A Novel

" The Torn Skirt is a hot book, a thrilling romance of teen rage and longing-like S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders , except about girls." -Mary Gaitskill, author of Two Girls, Fat and Thin

At Mt. Douglas (a.k.a. Mt. Drug) High, all the girls have feathered hair, and the sweet scent of Love's Baby Soft can't hide the musk of raw teenage anger, apathy, and desire. Sara Shaw is a girl full of fever and longing, a girl looking for something risky, something real. Her only possible salvation comes in the willowy form of the mysterious Justine, the outlaw girl in the torn skirt. The search for Justine will lead Sara on a daring odyssey into an underworld of hookers and johns, junkies and thieves, runaway girls and skater boys, and, ultimately, into a violent tragedy.

"I loved and believed the narrative of a sixteen-year-old mind-immature, abandoned, and yet exploding. It came from a heartfelt and true perception, an authentic writer's desire. Which made it rock." -Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth

"Imagine William S. Burroughs with a social conscience . . . An exhilarating, surreal, and dreamlike trip through the passionate teenage heart." - The Globe and Mail

"Teenage angst gets a surprisingly honest and effective rendering from a bright new voice . . . Giving witness yet again to the self-created drama of adolescence: a serious bullet of a book." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Godfrey's prose is atmospheric, rhythmic, and filled with spot-on details . . . This first novel is at its best when sharply observing teenage disgust with adult behavior and the roots of young women's rage." - Booklist
