Representaion Supposing Books Hideous Kinky

The debut novel from the author of Summer at Gaglow, called "a near-seamless meshing of family feeling, history and imagination" by the New York Times Book Review. Escaping gray London in 1972, a beautiful, determined mother takes her daughters, aged 5 and 7, to Morocco in search of adventure, a better life, and maybe love. Hideous Kinky follows two little English girls -- the five-year-old narrator and Bea, her seven-year-old sister -- as they struggle to establish some semblance of normal life on a trip to Morocco with their hippie mother, Julia. Once in Marrakech, Julia immerses herself in Sufism and her quest for personal fulfillment, while her daughters rebel -- the older by trying to recreate her English life, the younger by turning her hopes for a father on a most unlikely candidate.
Shocking and wonderful, Hideous Kinky is at once melancholy and hopeful. A remarkable debut novel from one of England's finest young writers, Hideous Kinky was inspired by the author's own experiences as a child. Esther Freud, daughter of the artist Lucian Freud and great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud, lived in Marrakech for one and a half years with her older sister Bella and her mother.

Blurb on the back: The debut novel from the author of "Summer at Gaglow, " called "a near-seamless meshing of family feeling, history and imagination" by the "New York Times" Book Review. Escaping gray London in 1972, a beautiful, determined mother takes her daughters, aged 5 and 7, to Morocco in search of adventure, a better life, and maybe love. "Hideous Kinky" follows two little English girls -- the five-year-old narrator and Bea, her seven-year-old sister -- as they struggle to establish

I utterly adore this book. The vibrant, sensory descriptions of Marrakech and Morocco are delicious to read, and the relationship between the sisters is realistic. The narrator (the unnamed younger sister) looks at things sometimes naively, sometimes with a wisdom beyond her age. I found myself empathising with Bea more - I suppose because I'm an older sister too, but also because she was very much like me personality-wise (the sensible one). Sometimes characters are introduced then

One of the rare instances where I preferred the movie to the book. Kate Winslett was perfectly cast and the setting was very intriguing.

One of my favourite films. Now one of my favourite books. The voice of the young narrator is so strong.The writing and detail so carefully chosen to reflect that in a naturalistic and thoughtful way. Funny, sweet, beautiful, light, sensitive, subtle- everything!

Just like the narrator's mother, this book meanders along rather aimlessly. And rather than be enchanted or amused by the character of a young woman who takes her two young children to Morocco in search of 'enlightenment', I found myself becoming quite angry with her fecklessness and what I saw as neglect of her children's needs.The writing itself is strong, but I was also quite shocked when the narrator's age is eventually revealed as four. The character of a young child is never really

I like the author's writing style: very simple, subtle, poignant and funny at times. And this one had a better story than the other book I read from her (Love Falls), which ended up disappointing.
