 | | A series of adventures takes the narrator and her alter ego, the playful and watchful Djinn, from the glamorous rigors of a Milan fashion house in the 1980s, where she is a reluctant muse to the designer, to 1990s Manhattan. |
 | | In a humorous flashback to the sixties and seventies, she revisits the austere, cloistered life of a Florentine boarding school filled with the daughters of bluebloods and industrialists, a time of comic/catastrophic infatuations with improbable men. |
 | | Smart, poignant, and wry, Diary of a Djinn is a tale of the everyday mix of the tragic and the mundane, of identities revealed, and of the marriage of dreams and reality -- a beguiling debut novel. |
