It’s 1977, and punk rock has just hit Liverpool. The legendary Eric''s club is home to the city''s rebels, posers and misfits. It’s a place of attitude, adventure and new possibilities, and it changes lives. Some become pop stars; Penny Kiley becomes a music journalist.The story traces Penny''s relationship with the music scene from the turbulent political 1980s into the changing culture of the 21st century.
Throughout these years, she never stops being a misfit, and the question remains: how do you navigate normal life when punk is dead and you don''t know you''re autistic?Atypical Girl begins as a coming-of-age story and ends as a midlife reinvention. What unites them is a search for identity and the role that music plays in all our lives.
