My Aunt Dorothy

Deborah is thirteen, entering secondary school in the big city, boarding with an aunt she hardly knows who wears two-piece suits and brogues. It's the middle of the seventies and even in far flung New Zealand, sex and porn have arrived. In Deborah's classroom, on the stage of Hair, in films, on the telly. The schoolgirls are curious and uninformed. Ask Aunt Dorothy for guidance? A ridiculous idea.
Yet it seems her aunt is more knowledgeable than Deborah had realised. A tale of women, often light-hearted, trying to navigate this new era. A time-capsule just before the digital revolution, when censorship stood in the spotlight and triggered a kaleidoscope of feelings and opinions.
