THE NEW GIRL
Book ID/图书代码： 11701212B56965
English Summary/英文概要： It is the beginning of the summer holidays in a town in the middle of nowhere. Julia and her best friends Chicky and Rachel are school leavers emerging from their girlhood and waiting for the future. They - and their parents - are excited when Miranda, a charismatic and exotically beautiful woman from the city, arrives to teach a summer class. Miranda encourages curiosity and independence among her charges, but she also casts a shadow: the lifelong bonds between the girls begin to dissipate; confidences are broken; Julia yearns for the city, for an escape from boys who drink beer and race stolen cars across the gravel down by the bridge. But Miranda has her own doubts and betrayals. She too is asking: when will I be found out? The New Girl is a novel about girls and the women who shape them; about influence, identity, individual freedom and group responsibility.

Awards/获奖情况：《衛報》：
這個故事不算新奇，人物很真實，你很容易為她們的煩惱而煩惱，為她們的痛苦而痛苦。Parkins寫作手法很輕鬆，她是寫對話、描寫的高手。

Emily Perkins captures perfectly the intense world of love, art and waitressing in this debut collection of short stories. She brings modern life into harsh and comic focus with a cinematic vision for character and dialogue and a cast of young and painfully vulnerable metropolitans. ’A stunning first collection: addictive, smart, scary, wise and profoundly funny. Perkins has the enviable Alice Munro knack of crafting tiny stories with the scope of novels, characters who convince within a paragraph, dialogue which stings with its unresolved sadness and comfortless truths’ Julie Myerson
