PHYLLIS RAPHAEL

OFF THE KING'S ROAD: LOST AND FOUND IN LONDON



Picture
                       "A compelling work that captures an era . . . 
                        Raphael is a talented writer, and she captures 
                        her heightened awareness of post marital-split 
                        life with refreshing vigor." - VeryShortList.com

                                                                           "At once a powerful coming-of-age memoir 
                                                                 and a vivid study of London in the Swinging '60s." 
                                                                                                       - Columbia Daily Spectator

                        "What a journey! Raphael cavorts with everyone 
                        from tripping poets to Marlon Brando." - Marie Claire

                                                                                                   "Stylish" - Publishers Weekly

                       "Immensely appealing" - Booklist

                                                                                   "A delicious book - warm and witty - 
                                                                                      one that evokes the Swinging Sixties 
                                                                                from a point of view rarely heard from." 
                                                                       - Vivian Gornick, author of Fierce Attachments

                       "Acutely observed detail, a tactile immediacy, 
                       a cool, appraising eye, and humor. Plus,
                       Swinging London! Phyllis Raphael has bid
                       her memory speak, and we can only listen.
                       It is a pleasure to do so." 
                       - David Rakoff, author of Fraud

                                                                 "Her decision to stay in London with her children 
                                                                       is the first she's made for herself in a long time 
                                                                          and a turning point in this fascinating book. 
                                                                          Her weeding through London's poseurs and 
                                                                hypochondriacs to find a good man is laugh-aloud 
                                                                  funny. She emerges a full-fledged single woman." 
                                                                                                         - The Los Angeles Times
