''One of the best novels about growing up fast'' GUARDIAN
''One falls for Sally Jay Gorce from a great height from the first sentence'' OBSERVER
''Scandalous and entertaining . . . Both funny and true'' EVENING STANDARD
The Dud Avocado gained instant cult status on first publication and remains a timeless portrait of a woman hellbent on living
Sally Jay Gorce is a woman with a mission. It''s the 1950s, she''s young and she''s in Paris. Having dyed her hair pink, she wears evening dresses in the daytime and vows to go native in a way not even the natives can manage. Embarking on an educational programme that includes an affair with a married man (which fizzles out when she realises he''s single and wants to marry her); nights in cabarets and jazz clubs in the company of assorted "citizens of the world"; an entanglement with a charming psychopath and a bit part in a film financed by a famous matador
But an education like this doesn''t come cheap. Will our heroine be forced back to the States to fulfill her destiny as a librarian, or can she keep up her whirlwind Parisian existence?
