Rent The Importance of Music to Girls

Synopsis

For the misfits, there will always be music. As the soundtrack to basement parties, late-night drives and solitary rituals of self-pity, the right music gives context and momentum to the bewildering process of growing up. In this passionate, poetic memoir, Lavinia Greenlaw searches out diaries, LP covers, and old mix tapes, to recall the torment and ecstasy of coming alive through music. The Importance of Music to Girls recalls the adventures that music makes possible: sneaking out, falling in love, cutting our hair off, terrifying our parents, and challenging the world. Greenlaw's memoir reminds us how perfectly meaningful it is to hear that music for the first time, and to live by it.
