Lola Bensky

Lola Bensky is nineteen when Keith Moon of The Who drops his pants in front of her and Cher borrows her false eyelashes. It’s the Sixties, and Lola is traveling as a reporter in London and New York to conduct interviews with musicians. She talks to Mick Jagger about sex and diets, and to Jimi Hendrix about mothers, God, and curlers. Her readers are probably more interested in gossip, but Lola has always been a bit unconventional. Fortunately, her parents have no idea that she is associating with people who experiment with free love and drugs. They survived the concentration camp, but that would send them to their graves. And Lola already feels guilty enough for being overweight and not becoming a lawyer. Yet she is determined to take her life into her own hands. Lola Bensky is a delightfully funny and heartwarming novel.
