- Synopsis
- Comic and romantic, joyous and moving, Fin & Lady is a love story--a love story about a brother and sister who must form their own unconventional bond in increasingly unconventional times. It's 1964. Eleven-year-old Fin and his glamorous, worldly older half sister, Lady, have just been orphaned, and Lady, whom Fin hasn't seen in six years, is now his legal guardian and his only hope. That means Fin is uprooted from a small dairy farm in rural Connecticut, landing in Greenwich Village smack in the middle of the swinging sixties. He soon learns that Lady--giddy, careless, and obsessed with being free--is as much his responsibility as he is hers. So begins Fin & Lady, the lively, spirited new novel by Cathleen Schine, the author of the bestselling The Three Weissmanns of Westport. Fin and Lady lead their lives against the background of the sixties, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War--Lady pursued by ardent, dogged suitors, Fin determined to protect his impulsive sister from them and from herself. As Lady's itinerant streak leads the pair to Italy and eventually to Capri, their trials force them to take stock of what really matters, and to ask: What does it mean to be a family?
