Me and Mr Booker
Author(s): Cory Taylor
Martha could have said no when Mr Booker tried to kiss her. But Martha is sixteen, she lives in a dull town, her father is mad, her home is stifling. Of course she would kiss the charming Englishman who brightened her world with whiskey and cigarettes, adventure and sex-whatever the consequences. Me and Mr Booker, Cory Taylor's acclaimed debut, is a novel about feeling old when you're young and acting young when you're not.

'Elegant and controlled and wickedly funny.' -- David Vann 'Cory Taylor's Me and Mr Booker has the heart of Lolita and the soul of Catcher In The Rye, this is one of the most assured debut novels I have ever read. These characters feel so real that they become almost family. Refreshing, surprising, sexy and ultimately very moving.' -- Krissy Kneen 'A vibrant, questioning and unpredictable read.' West Australian 'Cory Taylor's characters are magnificently created.' -- Australian 'Me and Mr Booker is sharply observed and blackly comic, but it is also a tender depiction of love, sex, power and one girl's heartbreaking step into adulthood.'
