Amazon Editorial Review:
A teenage girl comes to Ealing to meet her birth mother, a glamorous, bohemian writer, in this blackly funny novel with a stunning twist.
It is 1969: London swings, men land on the moon, and thirteen-year-old Kim Tanner appears on Imogen’s doorstep to announce she is her long-lost daughter. Imogen has written a bestseller about the baby she was forced to give away, so there have been many contenders. But Kim is special, and Imogen is convinced. So Kim moves in and proceeds to bring order to chaos. Then along comes the pretty, appealing Sukie, also claiming to be Imogen’s child.
Kim is determined to prove she is the real daughter, but when she starts digging she unearths a very murky story.

The book's in Helsinki, thanks!
Sorry for taking so long to read this book. Once I got to it, I absolutely loved it :) A very touching - and funny, too - story about a young girl trying to find out who she really is. And the London setting is, of course, fabulous as well.
Will find a new reader for this asap!

One of the books from the meetup tonight. Thanks!
A bit different book that I've read recently and nice change for awhile. Kim was quite the character.
