Laurene Kelly

The powerful sequel to the acclaimed I Started Crying Monday tells the story of fourteen-year-old Julie trying to forge a new life for herself after a family tragedy. Adapting to life in the city, without her parents, is sometimes exciting, but often overwhelming, and discovering the joys of the beach provides Julie with an escape from the ongoing dramas. At first, it seems the turmoil will never cease. And then, just as Julie begins to make some sense of what has happened, there are further surprising developments.

Reviews

'Kelly is particularly good at evoking an emotional setting, and explores the attitudinal differences between town and country in insightful fashion.' 

–Australian Book Review

'What Kelly has done in The Crowded Beach is to courageously address one of the great sleepers in contemporary society.  This is the presence domestic violence and child abuse in the home.  As uncomfortable as the issues Kelly raises are, The Crowded Beach is a book parents might consider reading and discussing with their teenage children.  Teachers should set it on courses dealing with family life in contemporary society.'

–Christopher Bantick, The Sunday Tasmanian
