Bøker av Paula Fox

First published in 1970 to great acclaim, this novel stands as one of the most dazzling and rigorous examples of the storyteller's craft in postwar American literature--a novel that, according to Irving Howe, ranks with "Billy Budd" and "The Great Gatsby".

In 1941, 23-year-old Helen Bynum leaves rural New York to find her Aunt Lulu, an ageing actress in New Orleans. There Helen finds a life of passion and adventure, possibilities and choices. Falling in with a group of intellectuals, she discovers romance and sex, and friendship and risk.
