Title: Admiration for the power of literature
Review: This story of Catholic School girls struggling towards adulthood paints a vivid world. Each moment is interesting and forces the reader to continue. A somewhat brief tale, it accomplishes so much more than it's length implies. As unsettling as Curran's portrayals of teenage girls might seem, it really is the author's style that sets Whores on the Hill apart from many other novels. By combining short chapters with gorgeously written prose that portrays the confusion and anxiety of being a teenage girl, Curran's novel unfolds as a series of vignettes that create their own separate reality. A must read for anyone who appreciates well written prose.
