Summary
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.

Criena Rohan
Deirdre Cash (1924–1963), who published under the pseudonym Criena Rohan, was born in Melbourne and grew up in South Australia and Melbourne. She attended the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, married twice, had two children, and worked as a singer and ballroom-dancing teacher.
Inspired by ill-health to pursue her love of writing in the late 1950s, Cash published her first novel, The Delinquents, in 1962. This was followed by Down by the Dockside in 1963, the same year she passed away from cancer at the age of thirty-eight.
