The story of an Indian girl who imagines herself in Audrey Hepburn movies. Life outside her fantasies is harsh. Her father is an alcoholic, who beats his all-suffering wife, and her lazy brother has given up work. Our heroine's inner world begins to crumble when a marriage is arranged for her.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Bright and clean. Slight reading crease to spine. Life may not be easy for a sixteen year old living in a small town in South India, especially when she's blessed with a family like hers: an over-dutiful sister; a brother who watches TV as an occupation; a father who drinks and bullies his family and a silent mother. Unless, of course, there are ways of escape. Insulated by her dreams and Audrey Hepburn movies, she observes her family with critical detachment. Until the inevitable marriage is arranged for her and she runs away to The City. Secretly hoping she will metamorphose into Holly Golightly, she enters into the service of Mr Aziz as a maid. Here she falls in with the other members of his household: Raju, the servant with the heart of a revolutionary; Maneka the maid who disappears each night; and the seductive Armand, Mr Aziz's arrogant, but tempting, son. She embraces this brave new world (acquiring a taste for croissants and champagne) but soon realises she can't run for ever. Rajeev Balasubramanyam has created an unforgettable heroine - childlike but determined, naive yet shrewd, her delightful voice resonates throughout the book. Written with a delicate irony, this debut novel is shot through with intelligence and a rare compassion for human frailty. Book. N° de réf. du vendeur 003381
