THE MISEDUCATION OF EVIE EPWORTH by MATSON TAYLOR - (RADIO 2 BOOK CLUB PICK)

"Yorkshire, the summer of 1962. 16-year-old Evie stands on the cusp of womanhood. But what kind of woman will she become?

The fastest milk bottle delivery girl in East Yorkshire, Evie is tall as a tree and hot as the desert sand. She dreams of an independent life lived under the bright lights of London (or Leeds). The two posters of Adam Faith on her bedroom wall offer wise counsel about a future beyond rural East Yorkshire. Her role models are Charlotte Brontë, Shirley McLean and the Queen. But,before she can decide on a career, she must first deal with the malign presence of her future stepmother, the manipulative and money grabbing Christine.

If Evie can rescue her bereaved father, Arthur, from Christine's pink and over-perfumed clutches, and save the farmhouse from being sold off, then maybe she can move on with her own life and finally work out exactly who it is she is meant to be."

"Moving, inventive and richly comic, this joyful debut novel of the year is the best thing to come out out of Yorkshire since Wednesdaydale cheese!"
