An 18-year-old in love with an international spy returns from Paris to find her family greatly changed. Dad has run off with her teenaged friend and Mom has gone off the deep end. "Charming, touching and briskly told, this slim novel begins in farce and is tempered by loss, pathos, grief," said PW.
