Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Elizabeth Falconer's Tiger Fitzgerald follows the coming-of-age of the youngest and most beautiful of three Irish sisters. Their father flees to Italy, leaving their mother and the estate to fall into decline; when strong-willed Tiger turns 18, she goes to Paris. Taken in as an au pair by the well-to-do, old Comtesse de Martel-Cluny, she discovers art and, shortly thereafter, sex and the bohemian life. She drifts from affair to affair, dreaming of true love and the life she left behind in Ireland. Falconer (Frost at Midnight) has a graceful writing style, which puts this above similar romantic offerings.
