Review of Stealing Beauty (2007) by Nermoo K — 16 Oct 2007

This is sentimental for me. at fifteen, I kind of wanted to be lucy--in search of her lost mother, mixed up in all those italian currents, the secrets, blah blah. plus, the music is fantastic--nina simone, lee hooker, sam phillips.

and what's not to love about jeremy irons here? "i was never very good at asking for the things I needed.".
