Fanny Foote came to New York to seek
her fortune, had sailed off high-hearted,
and has been depressed ever since. She is
not seriously depressed but unpleasantly
grounded, in part by her dull job at a
feminist magazine but also by the failure
of freedom to bring extravagant returns.
She is twenty-six and treading water, and
now without warning Fate plucks her
from tedious obscurity and assigns her
Success, Travel, Romance.
Fanny is a woman of her generation,
sexually active, and privately disap-
pointed. Her father and mother--re-
sponsible, caring parents are people of
their generation; Elizabeth worried
every time the phone rings to hear from
her sad daughter, Marcus waiting for that
daughter to get on with it.
At the heart of this otherwise excellent
Foote family is a fi ftccn-year rift. After a
quarrel, Fanny s adored aunt Caroline
decamped abruptly with the elegant
Lutecie Tavcrnier for France, where they
established a sort of fancy boarding-
house for scholars, writers, and musi-
cians, and have made a narnc for
themselves. When Fanny s editor dis-
covers her relationship to Footc and
Tavernier she is ccstatic because, she
says, they arc the quintessential lesbians,
and she sends Fanny off to write them up.
Fanny, shocked to death, goes.
Seton calls herself a writer of serious
comedy, a soft feminist, and (reluctantly)
a moralist. She lives in Northampton,
Massachusetts. This is her fifth novel.
