Fin & Lady: A Novel

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 to Greenwich Village, smack in the middle of the swinging ¿60s. He soon learns that Lady amp;mdash; giddy, careless, urgent, and obsessed with being free amp;mdash; is as much his responsibility as he is hers.

So begins Fin amp; Lady, the lively, spirited new novel by Cathleen Schine, the author of the best-selling The Three Weissmanns of Westport.

Fin and Lady lead their lives against the background of the ¿60s, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War amp;mdash; Lady pursued by ardent, dogged suitors, Fin determined to protect his impulsive sister from them and from herself.

From a writer The New York Times has praised as "sparkling, crisp, clever, deft, hilarious, and deeply affecting", Fin amp; Lady is a comic, romantic love story: the story of a brother and sister who must form their own unconventional family in increasingly unconventional times.
