Utopia Holmes has escaped to New York. Abandoning London's dirty grey skies and the grief of her mother's death, she's come in search of clues to the past - and adventure.
The city offers her everything she dreamed of and more. It's a midsummer madness of people and places, heat and noise. She throws herself into an affair with a downtown artist who lives in a warehouse and makes sculpture from scrap. His party trick is to teach Utopia how to get high.
What she really wants, though, is a job on one of New York's glossy magazines, where girls with matching faces do therapy at lunch and define the word perfection. It's a tough act to get in on. And is it the solution? The Big Apple holds as many questions as answers and Utopia's roller-coaster ride manages to take her to places never imagined. It's a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Jemima Hunt is a successful young freelance journalist and screenwriter. She writes for, among others, VOGUE and has an intimate knowledge of the world of magazines and journalism. After a spell in New York, she now lives in North London. NOTES FROM UTOPIA is her first novel.
