A Fairly Good Time by Mavis Gallant

Another book about an impossibly bohéme person who just goes around stumbling into people and things, making no sense, and no one around her seems to make sense either. Is it artistic? Is it quirky? It's not for me, that's for sure.

What's a woman to do when her French husband leaves her? All sorts of things apparently. I have to say that I found Gallant's short fiction to be better, but there are some beautiful passages in this novel about Shirley as she tried to find her way in Paris as she moves among confusing French people.
