Brownie and Lola are young and in love. But the odds—not to mention their mothers, the cops, welfare officers and the stifling conventions of 1950s Brisbane—are against them. When they are forced to face adult responsibilities, will they rise to the challenge, or fall apart?

The Delinquents, Criena Rohan’s classic novel of rock and roll, youthful rebellion and big dreams, is a love story for the ages.
