A Single Girl is timeless story,
By
This review is from: A Single Girl (Hardcover)
Written only a few years after the end of the Vietnam conflict, Mary Danby's tale of a single girl remains surprisingly fresh in today's world. Danby charts the coming of age of a young London woman of limited experience and takes her readers on a romp of sexual discovery following the tragic death of the heroine's fiance. Although she is filled with profound regret that she did not surrender her virginity to her American soldier before he was killed by friendly fire, she is very much the victim of subsequent events rather than an instigator. Danby explores not only thoughts of young love and abstinence, but also sexual freedom, its consequences and the emotional struggle of a single girl as she confronts abortion, her life, and the world around her. The title hints at the enduring nature of this book: it is the story of a single girl, but that girl could be almost any girl and it is as timely today as when it was written more than a quarter century ago.
