Comprising stories from other volumes as well as
never-before-published tales, this collection of short stories
mixes wit with warmth. Anderson's rich characters are set against a
range of locations and time periods, from New Zealand's country
farms of the mid-20th century to contemporary hair salons and
everything in between.
Twenty-nine years after it was published, VUP are proud to re-issue
Barbara Anderson's first novel. It's a new term at the girl's high
school and in the staffroom and classes life is beginning again.
For Carmen, Sooze, Margot and the rest of Barbara Anderson's
wonderfully memorable characters, it's a time to reflect on the
often hilariously conflicting demands of lovers, supervisors,
friends and enemies. Here is a novel whose razor-sharp dialogue,
wit and compassion reveal a writer of prodigious gifts. `If Jane
Austen had been able to read Virginia Woolf, she would have gone on
to write something like Girls High ... A moving story of how people
mature, it's a joy to read.' - The Daily Mail `She has a gift for
shrewd observation, acerbic comment and clever comedy which moves
easily from near slapstick to subtle wit.' - David Eggleton, Otago
Daily Times `The prose of Barbara Anderson prods, darts, dazzles on
the page. Girls High, her first novel, is thrilling to read.' -
Mary Varnham, New Zealand Listener
