Description

The year is 1996, and small-town life for 14-year-old Catherine is made up of punk rock, skaters, shoplifting, and the ghost of Kurt Cobain.

Her parents are too busy divorcing to pay her headful of unspent angst much attention.

But after she tries mess – a PCP variant – for the first time, her budding rebellion begins to spiral out of control.

Universally acclaimed as the modern-day coming-of-age story for a generation of QuÉbÉcois youth growing up in the 1990s, GeneviÈve Pettersen’s award-winning debut novel both shocked and titillated readers in its original French, who quickly ordained it a contemporary classic and a runaway bestseller.

AnaÏs Barbeau-Lavalette, the hotly tipped QuÉbÉcois director behind Inch-Allah, is currently adapting the story to film.

Now Esplanade Books is honored to present The Goddess of Fireflies to English readers for the first time in a powerful translation from award-winning novelist Neil Smith.
