Graffiti Girls

A sharp, empowering novel about a group of women who refuse to go quietly when society tells them theyre no longer valuable beyond the age of 40, from the author of Ginger and Me. Amy, Carole, Lenore and Susan have been best friends since school. Back then they couldnt wait for the future, for the amazing lives theyd have. But things havent worked out how they expected. Now in their forties, theyre fed up with being taken for granted by their families, being passed over for promotions at work and being told that theyre past their best. And theyre not going to go quietly anymore. Fuelled by female rage and their charismatic leader Amy, the four embark on a campaign of graffiti in their hometown of Hamilton, scrawling feminist slogans on the walls of local buildings. But is Hamilton ready for the feminist revolution the Graffiti Girls have in store? Praise for Graffiti Girls: 'A rebellious and uplifting tale of punkish, middle-aged, feminist defiance, told with wit, warmth and energy. I was rooting for Soaves tenderly drawn characters on every page.' Lucy Ribchester, author of Murder Ballad 'A delicious tale of female rebellion and a glorious tribute to female friendship. Warm, funny, and uplifting with genuine insight into women's lives. I adored every page.' Caron McKinlay, author of The Storytellers
