WHAT I LOVED

The must-read novel of 2003 a state of the nation, break your heart, make you think novel from an American female novelist in a leag ue of her own.Spanning the hedonism of the eighties and the chill-out nineties, this multi-layered novel combines a plot of mounting menace with a deeply moving account of familial relationships and a superbly observed portrait of an artist, set against the backdr op of a society reaching new depths of depravity in its frenetic quest for the next fashion, drug and thrill.
