32A How does life measure up for a 13-year old girl?

Dublin 1979. The Northside. Maeve Brennan gets up and puts on her first bra. The summer holidays beckon for Maeve and her trio of friends, Ruth, Orla and Claire. But they still have to suffer the indignities of the vigilant Sister Una as she patrols the school for latecomers. At home, the put-upon Maeve washes her bra and fears it’s already lost its luster…uUntil an encounter with Brian Power, the local heart-throb, sets her on a collision course with her friends. Ruth needs her support when her estranged father wants to meet her, but Maeve is torn when Brian asks her to the Grove, the local club. It’s Clery’s clock vs. the Grove… Is Maeve woman enough to make the right choice?
