Isabel Montgomery had an unusual upbringing. It started conventionally enough: she was the daughter of an actress and a lawyer, living in small-town America. But this was all shattered when, as a seven-year-old, she was abandoned by her father in a New York hotel room and everything she knew fell apart. Her father, it turned out, wasn't the man he said he was, but was actually one of America's most wanted fugitives, owing to his involvement in a notorious bank robbery. You're A Big Girl Now picks up the story some years later. Isabel is now a 27 year-old tech-savvy, freelance investigative journalist, one of the USA's best, despite some self-medication problems. She decides to turn her skills on her own family in the hope of finally understanding the truth about her grandfather, her father and everything that's happened to her. A smart, page-turning, emotional and political thriller with a fantastic female protagonist, You're A Big Girl Now will see the launch of Neil Gordon's writing in the UK.
