'Part poignant memoir of time and place. Part record of the violence, and indifference, against which most girls grow up. The Stirrings is a pleasure and a shock' Eimear McBride
'A superb, moving and disturbing memoir - haunting and unforgettable' Jonathan Coe
No life exists outside the times.
This is a story about one young woman coming of age, and about the place and time that shaped her: the North of England in the 1970s and 80s.
About the scorching summer of 1976 - the last Catherine Taylor would spend with both her parents in their home in Sheffield.
About the Yorkshire Ripper, the serial killer whose haunting presence in Catherine's childhood was matched only by the aching absence of her own father.
About a country thrown into disarray by the nuclear threat and the Miners' Strike, just as Catherine's adolescent body was invaded by a debilitating illness.
About 1989's 'Second Summer of Love', a time of sexual awakening for Catherine, and the unforeseen consequences that followed it.
About a tragic accident, and how the insidious dangers facing women would became increasingly apparent as Catherine crossed into to adulthood.
