Hot off the press! The twentieth anniversary edition of My Turquoise Years: A Memoir by M.A.C. Farrant has landed! The year is 1960 and it is the era of the Three Stooges and the Red Menace, the apex of plastic, Arborite, and everything turquoise: high heels, pedal pushers, refrigerators, even cars. Throughout her childhood, Marion Farrant heard wild family stories of the sophisticated life her mother, Nancy, led far away in Australia. Nancy’s world of riches and men seemed light years away from Cordova Bay on Vancouver Island, where Marion lived a working-class life with her aunt and uncle. But things changed the year she entered her teens and Nancy threw everyone into a flurry with the surprise announcement that she was coming for a visit.
Now with five additional companion stories, check out this beloved coming-of-age memoir today! Pick up your copy here.
