0396090079 some light edge wear to the jacket, bit of light foxing to the page ends; Molloy spends her life trying to be unconventional. When her mother dies in 1912, 14-year-old Alice is sent to her uncle's country rectory. Stifled by rules, she gets pregnant so she can return to her mother's bohemian friends in London. Eventually she becomes an artist noted for her erotic portraits of adolescent girls. She has a passionate affair with her favorite model, Miranda, who spends several years in Alice's communal household, which includes various friends, children, lovers, and acquaintances. All pride themselves on their free thinking. But their radicalism seems as dull as the lives of the rich they despise.
