Lily is a young Olympic gold medal winner about to embark on some fantastic adventures at the start of this fanciful novel. It is 1936 and rumors of war abound. Lily and her gallantly opportunistic mother are returning from Europe on the Normandie when they meet their new sugar daddy, Rexhault. Like Lily, Rexhault has had a mother but no known father, and he helps Lily in the search for her parentage. The search leads to New Haven and New Orleans, and to a 100-year-old talking parrot, Rum Keg, who once belonged to pirate Jean Lafitte. Along the way, Lily finds several "missing men" to adopt and one particular one to love. A strange story, but it works because Lily is a very alive, charmingly naive young woman. Too quirky to be hugely popular, this should bring pleasure to some readers.
