Maggie Scratch

Libro en inglés disponible para Kindle (Amazon)

Maggie's explorations of sex, relationships and the wider world sweep her from teenage fumblings in respectable, middle class America across Europe to heartbreak on the sands of a Greek Island. Heartbreak? – Just another 'splat', Maggie would say. There are more of those before Maggie, a mature, independent woman, living and working in Ibiza, looks back on what's become of America, from the rural, philosophical perspective of life among the Ibicencos.

At last, Maggie sees how much of her search has been fueled by a search for the father for the child she secretly desires – how will a mature, independent woman manage to plant this seed? And, if she does, how will it affect her fragile relationship with Izzy, the 'vasectomized' artist who shares her sunny mountainside home?

From a recommendation by novelist Rosalie Warren:

Maggie Scratch is an enchanting character and this is a sparkler of a book. Follow Maggie from Jewish Philadelphia in the 1970s, through a whole series of encounters, adventures, disasters and fun as she explores the world of sex, drugs, music, dance, relationships and life, before finishing up on the idyllic (sort of) island of Ibiza with her partner, the charming and wonderful painter, Izzy. Maggie is left with just one longing – for a child. Izzy’s had a vasectomy. But we’re not finished yet...

Maggie tells it raw, honest and funny, and if you’re a baby boomer of her generation (like me), you’ll find plenty of resonance with the landmarks of your own life...
