'If you haven't had sex in a while you can forget
what a compulsion it is. You can get into solitude
and gardening and making cakes. But once you have
five orgasms in one night from a one night stand,
you want to do the same thing the next night with
someone else. You think you are going to discover
some monumental truth about life, about yourself,
by having some stranger thrust their genitals against
yours after a few glasses of cheap wine.'
George and her Gang - Holly, Bet, Ann and Alex - are twentysomething wannabes. Eking out an existence in whatever way they can, they live in a rundown part of Montmartre, waiting to be discovered as the next big things in fashion and journalism.
Addicted to one-night stands, George has always assumed
that one day she'll meet The One'. But when The One' finally
turns up, it is somebody quite unexpected. Life for George and
the Gang will never be quite the same again.
Former fashion editor of
THE EUROPEAN, Stephanie Theobald spent her formative years , in Paris and vividly conjures up the seedier aspects of the city in her outrageous debut novel. .She now lives in London.
