...English literature at Barnard, wrote her senior thesis on T. S. Eliot, and went back last year to find a better England. It was L'Etoile and Ad Lib and the trattorias in Soho - and a place on King's Road where she could buy a pair of bell-bottom slacks by Foale & Tuffin that made her something of a trend setter back home in New York...

Her parents are a wretchedly selfish pair; she cannot concentrate on raising her young son; and her physicist husband is so preoccupied with the mysteries of nuclear fission that he seldom wonders what his wife thinks. Giovanna consults an analyst and discovers that she thinks mostly about Anouk...
