I felt compelled to finish this because I have a whole shelf of unread thrift store books making me feel guilty. I was bothered by the unfamiliar lifestyle of their family, it just didn't seem believable...or it is hard to imagine a single mother affording such a privileged and indulgent lifestyle (even if she sold paintings for awhile). Too many characters, and locales-- and so little depth. Not to mention the downward spiral of the main character and her mother was just depressing. It's too bad the story didn't stay focused. Each time I started to enjoy a setting, the story changed. So many good places for the story to stay focused on and developed more. Too bad. I don't know if it is me or what, but I do like to start a book and have a clear time and place hinted at with in the first few paragraphs. I couldn't really "place" the characters in a certain time period. It took awhile. I suppose it was early 80s onward? I don't know. Maybe I missed some British references. Anyway, thank god it is over. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. I LOVED this book!!!! well worth the read.

Mothers and their daughters. Daughters and their mothers? Young Kitty has a beautiful mother called Marina, who is both utterly beguiling and terrifyingly embarrassing, and more often than not Kitty can only gaze on her antics with awe and toe-curling trepidation. But as Kitty becomes a teenager it becomes clear that perhaps Marina isn't the most exemplary of parents, and that sometimes a girl might have to be brave enough to put herself first. By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and scandalous, Sophie Dahl writes with a keen eye, a warm heart and wonderful lyricism about a coming-of-age that's quite unlike any other.
