GIRL FROM THE SOUTH
Set partly in London and partly in America, the book follows the fortunes of a small group of the young and the single ? the children, in fact, of sixties, swingers. They have, it seems, infinite opportunity, but are bedeviled by indecision, by the breadth of choice, by the inflexibility of tradition, by the consequences of their parents? careless marital history ? and by being still dazzled by the nineteenth-century vision of the sublimity of romantic love.
