BROTHER OF THE MORE FAMOUS JACK - BARBARA TRAPI...

________________________    A JOYFUL 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF A COMING-OF-AGE CLASSIC  
________________________    'T here are few modern tales of first love and its disillusions
that are as thoroughly realised  as brilliantly lewd  and as hilariously satisfying to men and
women of all ages as this one ' - Rachel Cusk  Eighteen-year-old Katherine - bright  stylish 
frustratedly suburban - doesn't know how her life will change when the brilliant Jacob Goldman
first offers her a place at university. When she enters the Goldmans' rambling bohemian home 
presided over by the beatific matriarch Jane  she realises that Jacob and his family are
everything she has been waiting for.  But when a romantic entanglement ends in tears  Katherine
is forced into exile from the family she loves most. And her journey back into the fold  after
more than a decade away  will yield all kinds of delightful surprises...

t read it at university  when I really needed it ' - Meg Rosoff  New Statesman
