When Ida is sent away for the summer to stay with the Murphys — friends of her father- but also of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald — she travels from New York to France and- unknowingly- into the artistic epicenter of 1929. There- she meets their haughty- sullen- and precocious daughter- Honoria- and wonders if she can be friends with the prettiest girl in the whole world. In the “perfect inverted world” of adults- one of constant play and leisure — and inebriation- of course — it’s the children who most acutely perceive the pervasive unhappiness bubbling beneath the surface gaiety.Achingly sad and effortlessly funny- full of the kind of youthful sincerity unclouded by pretenses of age- short story writer and cartoonist Janice Shapiro’s debut graphic novel- Honoria- is the complex story of the education of two young girls who have started moving slowly into womanhood.
