Funny without knowing it and naive without being innocent, Zoe is pretty much left alone to get on with growing up. Yet the most relevant events of her youth are invariably caused by other people. She gains the attentions of spell-binding stranger Mr Friedmann, tries to impress Catholic celebrity (complete with signed photos) Father Raymond, comes to the attention of the Convent militia, and receives questionable guidance from her two grandmothers - one dependable and with a overriding passion for breeding horses, the other who frivolously prefers to be called Catkin. Sprinkled with hilarious observations and sinister characters, Proto Zoe is an unforgettable adolescent journey.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Zoe of this book is a real person, middle aged by now, and of a generally sunny disposition. When asked by the publishers to comment on the use the author has made of her experience, however, Zoe turned very grumpy. Amanda Prantera had no business to write these things down for public consumption, she said. What I told her, I told her in the strictest confidence. They were serious things, too, when they happened, important and very significant episodes in my life. She has made them sound comical, bordering on the hilarious. We are not on speaking terms any more, but I'd like to suggest to her that she go back to writing the sort of books she wrote before and leave innocent people like myself alone. The publishers hope that readers will disagree with this judgement and find the eleven episodes not merely funny (which they are) but touching and eloquent and well worth being told. Certainly, by the time they have followed the heroine's zig-zag progress from childhood to maturity, they will disagree with the term 'innocent'. As a child Zoe may have been naive, gauche and inexperienced but innocent she never was - even before meeting the instructive Mr.Friedmann or the unforgettable sewing lesson with her grandmother, and long before her highly unorthodox schooling. It is a path frought with comic misunderstandings, adult subterfuge and the perils of non-conformity. Funny without knowing it and naive without being innocent, Zoe is pretty much left alone to get on with growing up. Yet the most relevant events of her youth are invariably caused by other people. This novel is about adolescence and lack of innocence. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780747562740
