It tells the story of teenager Jack Duluoz, exploring his secret passions, his sporting prowess, and his first romance, with a beautiful Irish girl named Maggie Cassidy. Originally written in 1953, Maggie Cassidy is a remarkable, bittersweet evocation of the awkwardness and joy of growing up in America.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 128mmItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 190gGenre: FictionAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 1993 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
