Krátky popis
Maman was exigeante-there is no English word-and I had the benefit
of her training. Others may not be so fortunate. If some other
young girl, with two million dollars at stake, finds this of use I
shall count myself justified.Raised in Marrakech by a French mother
and English father, a 17-year-old girl has learned above all to
avoid mauvais ton (",bad taste", loses something in the
translation). One should not ask servants to wait on one during
Ramadan: they must have paid leave while one spends the holy month
abroad. One must play the piano, if staying at Claridge's, one must
regrettably install a Clavinova in the suite, so that the necessary
hours of practice will not be inflicted on fellow guests.One should
cultivate weavers of tweed in the Outer Hebrides but have the cloth
made up in London, one should buy linen in Ireland but have it made
up by a Thai seamstress in Paris (whose genius has been supported
by purchase of suitable premises). All this and much more she has
learned, governed by a parent of ferociously lofty standards. But
at 17, during the annual Ramadan travels, she finds all assumptions
overturned.Will she be able to fend for herself? Will the dictates
of good taste suffice when she must deal, singlehanded, with the
sharks of New York?
