About This Book

A spirited young girl narrates domestic episodes from a literary household dominated by her charismatic, celebrated father and her hardworking mother. In a series of candid, humorous sketches she portrays siblings, an actress aunt, servants, and small social embarrassments, while reflecting on childhood, ambition, and family manners. Her voice mixes affectionate satire with sharp self-awareness as she rehearses literary ambitions, observes appearances and upbringing, and contrasts public reputation with the intimacy and routine of home life.
