Red Moon: Secrets of a sixties schoolgirl

Andrea Hampton is going to break through the north midland gloom and her fog of misery her way – she’ll get Brendan James and lose her virginity. But she hasn’t planned on being a fourteen year old mum, or on the move to London, where life could be fun…

Red Moon: Secrets of a sixties schoolgirl is based on the author’s life in the mid-1960s, UK. It’s a world of pirate radio, Beatles, mods and rockers, suspenders, and a horse called Flash, against bleak moors, fog and furnaces to final sunshine. This is an evocation of childhood rebellion, discontent and decisions, amidst grief, love and longing.
