About this listen

By the age of 15, Deirdre has become unhappy at home. With a teenager’s optimism she hitchhikes down to the Bahamas, hoping to bask on beaches for ever. But she finds the adult world of earning wages and paying rent includes racism, sexual harassment and abuse– with the daily fear of being found out as an underaged illegal alien and sent back to a place she no longer considers home. Was it ever supposed to be this weird?

Deirdre, the Wanderer: A modern picaresque; Part One
In Books 1-4 of the complete novel, Deirdre uses her nascent womanly wiles to secure a ride south from snowy Connecticut and over the Gulf Stream to The Bahamas, where despite the perfect tropical climate she struggles to make her own way amongst false friends, dishonest employers and lecherous lotharios.

‘It is nought but the fear of woman’s heart,
And a dream of the night, Deirdre.’
- Celtic faery-tale.

NOTE: this is a fanciful story and does not depict, suggest or condone real-life behaviour.
Moderately risqué content - sexual situations, alcohol abuse, drugs, impolite language, violence (alá BBFC ‘15’ rating).
