Book 60 An Education ** by Lynn Barber

A small book, loaded with insights.   I also thought the movie was really excellent, portraying well the reality of a young girl dating a con artist, while everyone looked on in tacit approval or silence.   Having been there a few times myself (I am a slow learner), I found the book and movie rang true. 

Barber is a lovely writer, but a bit of a BS'er.   She has the style of Jilly Cooper, witty and breezy.
