The Naked Season - Tapa blanda

An outspoken, outrageous, original and outlandish debut novel from an outstanding new writer. Growing up isn't easy when your mother is a figurehead for feminism and the most famous lesbian in the world. All her life, Molly Flynn has been intrigued, entertained, alarmed and exasperated by her mother Augusta's increasingly bizarre claims about who she is and where she came from. Now, as Molly sets off down America's West Coast to confront her estranged husband and serve him divorce papers, she looks back on her strange and unconventional childhood in a series of entertaining flashbacks. But Molly will be waylaid on her journey from Seattle to California, and sidetracked - with dramatic, surprising, hilarious and unexpected results.
