 | Fleur de Leighs(Life Of Crime) by Diane Leslie
Fleur de Leigh, the 10-year-old narrator of this debut novel set in 1950s Hollywood, is the smart, perceptive daughter of two aspiring entertainers. Left to her own devices while her parents are racing to auditions, schmoozing film producers, and unloading to their analysts, Fleur reports on her gradual coming of age and her struggle to achieve a normal life despite the veil of glamour that covers over every aspect of her existence. A colorful cast of characters, including a stiletto-wearing nanny and a wise, aging film actor, help guide Fleur down the path of self-awareness and contribute to the humorous misadventures that subside along the way.
