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.Then 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?Sparkling 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.
