About this book

"Lou is getting on with her life, carefree and without ties. But this abruptly comes to a halt when her nineteen-year-old god-daughter Minnie moves in to take up a place at university. Minnie's arrival shines a harsh light into the corners of Lou's life -- revealing it to be not as it seems. her relationships are complicated, her neighbours are closing in on her, and the clock is ticking. What does it mean to be a real grown-up? A sharp, dark comedy, Deborah Bruce's Godchild explores the inescapable realities between feeling nineteen and being nineteen."--Page [4] of cover.
