'In the padlocked attic she'd hidden all her books on shelves with locked pine doors. One never knew who might show up and in what state. The last thing you wanted was for Anna Karenina to discover accidentally that she was bound to take her own life on the railroad tracks...'

Emma Bovary has arrived unannounced - and distraught - and Anne-Marie and her daughter Penny have torn themselves away from the television coverage to attend to their new guest.

The reader is carried along in the tale of what happens when they meet the precocious and rebellious teenager Penny Entwhistle, a heroine with her own destiny to unravel.
