Articoli correlati a Breaking Out: A Novel
Eleanor Leyden is a rebel, a 'girl that spells trouble'. When her communist parents are killed in the car crash which also leaves her maimed, she is fostered by family friends, Dermot and Angela O'Driscoll. But as she grows up, she feels increasingly stifled by their middle-class Catholic values. Bursting into 'defiant flame', she rejects their conservative world as she becomes a stonemason and seeks solace in a forbidden love affair that only further entraps her.
Two women inspire her flight - her outspoken Aunt Katherine and her precocious schoolfriend Louise. With Louise she discovers the 'exhilaration of departure' as they travel to France and Greece. Here, when their intense bond shifts from warm banter to sexual rivalry and desire, Eleanor learns that she must face the world 'herself, clear, alone'.

Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: Good. Eleanor Leydon is a rebel, and the foster parents she's currently living with (her parents were killed in a car accident) are middle-class Catholics, and she feels stifled. Rejecting their conservative world, she becomes a stonemason and seeks solace in a forbidden love affair which only entraps her further. She gets some help from two women friends. Their travels to France and Greece initiate sexual rivalries and desire, and create a need in Eleanor to find some kind of peace and reconciliation within herself. Maguire's is a powerful vision of the emotional, spiritual, and social impulses that drive our lives. Codice articolo SONG0856405744
