The first novel (and first book) by this author, then a recent Oxford graduate, who has gone on to a notable career as a journalist, novelist and a non-fiction writer. Begun when she was 19 (the age of her protagonist), the novel is set amidst the bohemian milieu of the Left Bank in Paris, where she was beginning her career as a freelance journalist; as critic Prabhu S. Guptara observes, though, it's "not just another autobiographical first novel about teenagers, jazz, and ennui.
