In this moving, poignant novel by the best-selling author of Birds of America, we share a grown woman's bittersweet nostalgia for the wildness of her youth.

The summer Berie was 15, she and her best friend, Sils, had jobs at Storyland in upstate New York where Berie sold tickets to see the beautiful Sils portray Cinderella in a strapless evening gown. They spent their breaks smoking, joking, and gossiping. After work they followed their own reckless rules, teasing the fun out of small-town life, sleeping in the family station wagon, and drinking borrowed liquor from old mayonnaise jars. But no matter how wild, they always managed to escape any real danger - until the adoring Berie sees that Sils really does need her help - and then everything changes.

I am the same age as the author and could understand the 70s references and was particularly moved by the characterization of children of the seventies looking up to the sixties generation but inheriting something darker. Moreover, I am also from upstate NY, so I could understand the setting. Nevertheless, I could not understand the story. Perhaps if I had read the book it would have come together but as an audiobook the rapid changes in time and age of the main character had me lost - perhaps befit was too difficult to reconcile the middle aged Character with the adolescent one. I found myself anxious to have it end.

Hauntingly beautiful meditation on friendship

Visually stunning and playfully phrased. A sweet, quirky record of the magical childhood friendships we treasure, ultimately drift away from, and mourn the intense goodness of.

Sheer poetry

Loved every minute of this flash from the past! The narration was excellent. Recommend for anyone who grew up in the 60's

Big surprise

The character saved frogs from death and waited in life for her frog Prince to arrive. Her close relationship with Sil made her become cunning for a reason - to help. Her punishment was religious instruction and boarding school. It changed her! The comment I will always remember is, “You walk in the sleep of yourself and wait.”…

Life as a Frog

I have only recently discovered Lorrie Moore and am enthralled by her prose and her ability to write in such a meaningful and mindful way about life’s experience. This story of a woman recalling a significant time and relationship in her teens, her coming of age, her longings and confusions, whilst unique, holds within it the story of so many girls. The narration is perfect.

An insightful story told with tenderness

Ms de Cuir was born to narrate. What a performance of this sad exquisite and observant story.

Beautifully written and narrated.

Lorrie is lyrical in her presentation. She invites us into the world of a growing girl with all the angst and joy and ingènue.

Poetic Prose!
