My Latest Grievance
Author(s): Elinor Lipman
Frederica Hatch, the charming, precocious child of sweetly bonkers parents, has an idyllic if spoilt childhood in the grounds of the small, not very good, Dewing college. Everything is perfect ÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂàand then she discovers that her father has a secret. Worse still, his secret has a name: the glamorous and untrustworthy Laura Lee French, his estranged wife. And worst of all, Laura LeeÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs new job at Dewing is going to shatter the HatchesÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂàlittle world.
