Items related to Fin and Lady
It is 1964. Eleven-year-old Fin and his glamorous, worldly, older half sister, Lady, have just been orphaned. Fin has not seen Lady in six years, but she is now his legal guardian - and his only hope. Uprooted from the small dairy farm in rural Connecticut where he grew up, Fin finds himself smack in the middle of Greenwich Village in the swinging sixties. And he is about to learn that Lady - giddy, careless, urgent, free-living, free-loving Lady - is going to be as much his responsibility, as he is hers.Praise for The Three Wiessmanns of Westport: 'Elegant prose, pin-sharp humour, and an ending that proves satisfyingly bittersweet.' Guardian 'Intelligent and beguiling.' The Times 'Sparkling, crisp, clever, deft, hilarious, and deeply affecting.' New York Times
