Description

This is a story of a very complex family unit consisting of our heroine, Florence, her father, Jacob, his live in male lover, Michel and Jacob's sister Julia. Florence's mother had died at birth, leaving her to be raised in Paris by her father, with occasional visits to London to stay with Julia. Julia had promised that when Florence had completed her schooling in Paris, she could come to live with her in London to take a course at an art school. Julia is a very glamorous woman who leads a rather exotic life so Florence is excited by the prospect and is completely shattered when Julia is killed in a car crash, under slightly suspicious circumstances. This changes her whole life plan and sends her off the rails into a life of casual sex, experimentation and a career as a sylist for a photographer. The veneer of sophistication which Florence has always possessed as a result of her father's involvement with the gay world, is rubbed thin as her true vulnerability leaves her easy prey for an amoral bi-sexual lover whose tragic presence seems to be inextricably bound up with her entire family.
