We Were Dangerous
- Josephine Stewart-Te Whiu
- New Zealand
New Zealand,1954. Friends Nellie, Daisy, and Lou make mischief together at an institution for delinquent girls that has recently relocated to a remote island. A strict and devout matron lords over the girls’ education, working to shape them into pious, obedient, “civilized” young women. But it’s hard to reform girls who don’t believe they need reforming.
When the matron approves experimental forms of punishment set to take place in the dead of night, the trio’s rebellion soon becomes an urgent plot to escape by whatever means possible. We Were Dangerous beautifully juxtaposes a charming wit and playfulness against the grim reality of the girls’ life on the island, crafting a love letter to fierce and disobedient young women past and present.
