Girls of Tender Age by Mary-Ann Tirone Smith
Mary-Ann Tirone Smith grew up in New England during the 1950s, the daughter of an extended French-Italian family. In many ways, it was a typical rough-and-tumble childhood, but someone would shatter it and change Smith's life and that of the town, forever.
'This is a riveting book, memory lane as a crime scene that needs to be relived to be understoodIn this family saga of ethnic New England (a seldom-visited subject, but one dear to my heart), Ms. Tirone Smith has put all her energy as a writer of crime fiction to solve a mystery from her own past.' Paul Theroux
MARY-ANN TIRONE SMITH published her first novel, The Book of Phoebe, in 1985. Newsweek called it 'genuinely funny, smart, and endearing,' and William Wharton hailed her as 'a writer of tremendous talent'. Since then seven further novels have followed, each garnering much critical acclaim. Married with two children, Mary-Ann has lived all her life in Connecticut, except for the two years she served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Cameroon. She currently lives in New Haven.
