Meridee Bang is brought up in a house on Olivine Street with too many children and too little money. It's the 1960s and while <i>The Patty Duke Show </i>and <i>I Love Lucy</i> depict what life should be like, things are somewhat different in the Bang household. For Meridee the movie of her life is called <i>Getting Dragged up on Olivine Street. </i>In her world, family life is all about survival. Spanning the '60s, '70s and '80s, <i>Bangs </i>follows Meridee from her pre-school years to her early twenties. Bright, sharp and hopeful, Meridee is a witty but troubled commentator. Will she grow into the beautiful swan with oodles of money that she imagines? Or will she remain an ugly duckling, stuck forever in concrete-block Christchurch? In this new, bold novel Stevan Eldred-Grigg returns to the family at the centre of his bestselling <i>Oracles and Miracles</i>.
