Riverdale is a fictional place in the 1960s. These stories reflect the flavor of that time, as heard through the voice of teenager Julie Scott. Although the stories are sometimes maudlin and melodramatic, sexist and gender stereotyped, filled with all the idioms and clichés and rhetoric stereotypical of a conservative small-town Christian community of that era in southern California, they represent intense expressions of a forgotten reality.
Juliana Harvard's writing spans more than five decades, from her adolescence until well past midlife. It is reflective of her most emotional moments, sometimes of ecstasy and wonder, sometimes of sadness and pain, and other times of sweet melancholy and contentment beyond words.
DISCLAIMER: "These are works of fiction. Any similarities to persons and places are frequent, intentional, and occasionally brazen, but generally fragmentary, inconsistent, and disguised with fanciful invention."
-Stephen Minot, Three Genres
