When sheltered and unsophisticated Ida visits for a summer, Honoria becomes both her mentor and tormentor, as well as her role model and, finally, her friend.\u003cbr\u003eWinner of the National Jewish Book Award\u003cbr\u003eWhen Ida is sent away for the summer to stay with the Murphys - friends of her father, but also of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald - she travels from New York to France and, unknowingly, into the artistic epicenter of 1929. There, she meets their haughty, sullen, and precocious daughter, Honoria, and wonders if she can be friends with the prettiest girl in the whole world. In the perfect inverted world of adults, one of constant play and leisure - and inebriation, of course - its the children who most acutely perceive the pervasive unhappiness bubbling beneath the surface gaiety.\u003cbr\u003eRead more\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImage and Condition Note -\u003c\/b\u003e We typically have multiple copies of the titles we sell.
