Articoli correlati a Rose of No Man's Land
Fourteen-year-old Trisha Driscoll is a self-described loner whose family expects nothing from her. While her mother lies on the couch in a hypochondriac haze and her sister aspires to be on The Real World, Trisha struggles to find her own place among the neon signs, theme restaurants, and cookie-cutter chain stores of her hometown.
After being hired and abruptly fired from the most popular shop at the absurd and kaleidoscopic Square One Mall, Trisha finds herself linked up with a chain-smoking, physically stunted mall rat named Rose, and her life shifts into manic overdrive.
A whirlwind exploration of drugs, sex, poverty and tattoos, Rose of No Man’s Land is the world according to Trisha – a furious love story between two weirdo girls, brimming with snarky observations and soulful wonderings on the dazzle-flash emptiness of contemporary culture.

Recensione:
“Rose of No Man’s Land [is an] example of new books of revolutionary teen fiction worth reading.... It’s not hard to imagine [Tea’s] established readership will be just as inclined to pick up Rose of No Man’s Land as the 14-year-old contemporaries of the book’s narrator.” — Broken Pencil
“[Tea’s] writing has real energy, a delightful slangy verve. Rose of No Man’s Land may have the requisite pink on the cover, but it is certainly more lit than chick.” —The Globe and Mail
“Compellingly honest and told with a voice so pure that it would be ignominious to overlook it. . . . A sincere achievement.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“Impossible to put down. . . . Trisha is a raucous observer of everything from mall culture minutiae to her sister’s reality TV dreams. Nothing gets by her.”
—People Magazine
