About This Item
(Cape Town, David Philip, 1992). Laminated pictorial dustwrapper, pp. (viii) + 287, photographs in the text. 'This is the story of a group of girls who grew up with the author in Cape Town in the 1950s - shaped by the South African past, the absurdities of a girls' school, and a future to be determined by early marriage. At the centre of this group was Romy, the exuberant daughter of Jewish immigrants, with her flaming hair, laughter and capacity to mould her friends. A rebel at school, a resister of weddings, she enraged the men who loved her: the sensitive Mark, and the fierce, determined Winston. As we follow Romy through her explosive scenes, Ellie struggling with loneliness in her career as a psychologist, and Rose as she vanishes into marriage to emerge as 'Today's Woman', it is friendship that redeems their lives.' .
