Description
Alisson Wood's memoir, Being Lolita, is a powerful coming-of-age story that explores the complexities of obsession, passion and manipulation.
The book begins with Alisson's transformation from a lonely high school student to a victim of abuse, as she navigates a relationship with a charismatic English teacher who becomes increasingly controlling. As she reflects on this experience, Alisson is forced to re-examine her own narrative and the ways in which it has been shaped by her experiences.
With distance and perspective, Alisson comes to understand the ultimate power of language and its ability to both harm and heal. This memoir shines a light on our shifting perceptions of consent, vulnerability and power, offering a thought-provoking exploration of what happens when a young woman takes back control of her story.
