Jean Kennedy is a gentle, perceptive girl growing up in a very strange
world: suburban Dublin in the 1970s and '80s. In the company of her
mother, her Aunty Ida, and her little brother Baby John F., Jean
experiences love and joy. But home is not a safe place, and Jean is
unequal and unprotected. When she speaks just one small part of the
truth, she must quickly learn to navigate the dangers and possibilities
of a world she scarcely understands.
Jean’s hypnotic, unsparing and ultimately hopeful voice captures the
dreams and terrors of girlhood in a brutally hypocritical world, and
offers glimpses of a better life. Through it all, Jean’s voice pulsates
with insight and passion. Girl in the Making is a deeply moving,
propulsive coming-of-age story from a major new talent.
