A taut and lyrical coming-of-age debut about a young American woman navigating class, lies, and love amid Londons jet-set elite. nI would arrive, blank like a sheet of notebook paper, and write myself new. n nAnna first fell in love with London at her hometown library--its Jane Austen balls a far cry from her life of food stamps and hand-me-downs. But when she finally arrives after college, the real London is a moldy flat and the same paycheck-to-paycheck grind--that fairy-tale life still out of reach. n nThen Anna meets the Wilders, who fly her to Saint-Tropez to tutor their teenage daughter. Swept up by the sphinxlike elder sister, Anna soon finds herself plunged into a heady whirlpool of parties and excess, a place where confidence is a birthright. There she meets two handsome young men--one who wants to whisk her into his world in a chauffeured car, the other who sees through Annas struggle to outrun her past. Its like shes stepped into the pages of a glittering new novel, but what will it cost her to play the part? n nSparkling with intelligence and insight, All That Life Can Afford peels back the glossy layers of class and privilege, exploring what it means to create a new life for yourself that still honors the one youve left behind.n
