The Rehearsal by Eleanor Catton- February 2012

Post by Clare Bookclub Mod » Fri Feb 03, 2012 5:14 pm

A high school sex scandal jolts a group of teenage girls into a new awareness of their own potency. The sudden publicity seems to turn every act into a performance and every space into a stage. But when the local drama college decides to turn the scandal into a show, the real world and the world of the theatre are forced to meet, and soon the boundaries between private and public begin to dissolve..

'This is a daring book, full of velvety pleasures but never afraid to show its own claws. Eleanor Catton is crazily talented and insightful - and best of all, she makes language seem new' Emily Perkins

'Inventve and confidently written...The Rehearsal marks an exciting arrival on the fictional stage' Irish Times

'A starburst of talent and the arrival of an author wholly different from anyone else writing today' Sunday Times

If I were you I'd get this book straight away. It seems too good to miss! :D
