About this product

Product Information

Jena Lin plays the violin. She was once a child prodigy and now uses sex to fill the void left by fame. She's struggling a little. Her professional life comprises rehearsals, concerts, auditions and relentless practice; her personal life is spent managing the demands of her strict family and creative friends, and hooking up. And then she meets Mark - much older and worldly-wise - who consumes her. But at what cost to her dreams? When Jena is awarded an internship with the New York Philharmonic, she thinks the life she has dreamed of is about to begin. But when Trump is elected, New York changes irrevocably and Jena along with it. Is the dream over? As Jena's life takes on echoes of Frances Ha, her favourite film, crucial truths are gradually revealed to her. A Lonely Girl is a Dangerous Thing explores female desire and the consequences of wanting too much and never getting it. It is about the awkwardness and pain of being human in an increasingly dislocated world - and how, in spite of all this, we still try to become the person we want to be. This is a dazzling and original debut from a young writer with a fierce, intelligent and audacious voice. 'I absolutely inhaled this book. Gutsy, bold and surprising, with a darkness that draws you in and keeps you hanging onto every word.' Bri Lee, author of Eggshell Skull 'Jessie Tu's writing is fierce and bold; I read this novel with escalating excitement, galvanised by the emergence of a powerful new voice.' Christos Tsiolkas, author of Damascus 'Searing, unflinching and unapologetic, Jessie Tu is a fearless talent.' Sophie Hardcastle, author of Below Deck

    items were sent express and with tracking but number wasn't provided. it makes sense with the prices so I wish it was disclosed beforehand and provided when sent. each item was sent separately and none of them had any protective packaging. i missed the part in the listing where all the books have a sticker covering the spine, something to be aware of if buying as a gift. thank you for selling.

    Very impressed with this purchase. The book was shipped express and arrived extremely quickly. It was securely packaged, in perfect condition, and looked brand new—excellent quality all around. It was also significantly cheaper than any other option I could find. I looked into the seller and was pleased to see they’re a rural Australian business. Great to support them, and I’d definitely buy again!

    Excellent eBayer. Delivery problem was fixed with a full refund, no questions asked virtually within minutes of me contacting them. They even offered for me to keep the book if it is eventually delivered by Australia Post.
