Description
Set in the working-class neighborhoods of Lowell, Massachusetts, this semi-autobiographical novel follows a young man’s intense first love and the restless years that shape his emerging identity. Against a backdrop of family pressures, youthful friendships, Catholic traditions, and small-town expectations, romance becomes inseparable from memory, longing, and the desire for freedom. Lyrical and deeply personal, the book captures adolescence with the raw immediacy, musical prose, and searching spirit that characterize its author’s early work.
