About This Book

Jacqueline reacts to inner sorrow by adopting a defiant, pleasure-seeking persona, joining a boisterous seaside set of girls called the Blue Band; her casual flirtations and familiar behavior with acquaintances alarm her stepmother, who suspects she has discovered compromising truths and responds with indulgent caution. Scenes move from beach amusements and dances to riding parties around a coastal resort, while a timid suitor and a more worldly rival compete for attention. The narrative traces adolescent rebellion, social performance, and the uneasy boundaries between intimacy and suspicion.
