AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Adelaide. Summertime. 1985. Fourteen-year-old Frankie is struggling to make sense of her older sister Justine's admission to hospital with anorexia. But growing up is harder than it seems, and as the summer passes, Frankie has to try to make sense of her own life, too.

'Years later, looking back on her sister's illness from the perspective of adulthood, Frankie reflects on its effects on herself and Justine, and on how it shaped the women they became.

'A quiet, nuanced study of sisterhood and a portrait of the long-term effects of anorexia on a family, Ravenous Girls powerfully explores the chasms that lie between adolescence and adulthood, sickness and health, and intimacy and loneliness.'
