Paperbacks in very tidy condition.

Anna Hoffman, born in Taumaranui, was a teenager searching for love who fell in the gay and bawdy Auckland of the fifties, rubbing shoulders with the bright, the liberal and disjointed, an independent woman who became the stuff of tabloid scandals. It is a confession of life through the eyes of a growing girl, her emerging sexuality and how she assesses adults' behaviour in relation to her own growing rebelliousness. She recognises the stifling conformity and repressiveness of the era and vows to break out - not only of her caring, closeting and happy home - but also out of Auckland and eventually New Zealand altogether. She concentrates on her music studies as a way out. This story relates the twists and turns that her life takes while she follows her dream of going to Paris. Part 2 details 1 year of her life in 1955 in Sydney's Kings Cross.
