Black Pearls Journal by Greve Meg

As a slightly bawdy road novel in the tradition of Fanny Hill and Tom Jones and because of its narrating freshness and its twisted historic perspective, Susan Cokal's second wholly unique comic novel should appeal to readers of Jeffrey Eugenide's Middlesex and Jonathan Saffran Foer's Everything is Illuminated. The story begins in an orphanage in Denmark, where 15-year-old Famke learns about pleasure. Once she's ousted from The Convent of the Immaculate Heart, she becomes an artist's model and discovers how much she likes to be looked at. By the time Cokal has finished with her, Famke has learned a great deal more from her travels through the American West, and yet she remains charmingly naove -- almost to the novel's breathtaking, and literally explosive ending.
