The story of a poor little rich girl who loses her way when daddy gets sick, this might be hard to take seriously but it’s done with conviction and charm
It would be easy to be cynical about The Artificial Anatomy of Parks. It might also be fun. So I’ll have a go.
This is a novel about a poor little rich girl with serious daddy issues. One strand of a dual narrative tells how Tallulah (yes, Tallulah) had quite a few problems in her family, but lack of money wasn’t one of them, so they packed her off to boarding school where she fell in love with a very handsome boy with a good chin who grew up to be a lawyer. She also demonstrated her rebellious nature by smoking cigarettes and sometimes drinking vodka until, for reasons that only emerge late on in the narrative, she dropped out and went to live in glamorous poverty, working as a waitress in London, living in a (very sketchily portrayed) “hostel”, smoking more cigarettes and staying away from her family.
