THE AUTHOR
Amanda Brainerd lives in Manhattan, blocks from where she grew up. She was expelled from Choate Rosemary Hall at the end of 10th grade. She graduated from Harvard College, and received a master of Architecture from Columbia. She is the mother of three children, the wife of one husband, and the owner of one dog and two cats. Age of Consent is her first novel.
THE NOVEL
Age of Consent is about three young women in the 1980s, who negotiate fraught friendships, sexuality, class, and predatory older men on the journey from innocence to independence. The narrative begins at a Connecticut boarding school, then follows the characters to New York City. A captivating, timeless novel, Age of Consent intimately evokes the heady freedom of our teenage years.
