Title: A Sensible Life
Description: Black Swan 1998 Paperback, 389pp. She was a thin, lonely child with huge eyes and an extensive vocabulary of French foul language.  Amongst the elegant middle-class British families holidaying in Dinard in 1926 - leading their privileged lives of secure routine pleasures - Flora was a 10 -year old misfit.  Ignored by her self-absorbed parents, unloved, and pitied by the pleasant, stylish people in Brittany that summer, Flora was - peripherally - included in their gracious circles.  And there, meeting kindly civilised people for the first time, she fell in love - with Cosmo - with Hubert - with Feix. It took 40 years for the love affairs to be explored, consummated and finally resolved. (ISBN: 9780552993937). Fair.
