First Loves

FIRST FINDS was the story of Jill Brook's Yorkshire childhood and inner life in the 1930s and 1940s. Now, in FIRST LOVES, Jill moves into adolescence and beyond, capturing some of the dreams and preoccupations of early youth and the course of intense and unusual passions. Using her own childhood memories and a little imagination, June Barraclough continues this autobiographical work of fiction. She explores the discovery of self and the world around, using literature and friendship as a means of understanding.
