Move over, Oedipus, here comes Little

Merryweather in a deliciously wicked

novel about the delights and predica-

ments of incest American-style.

The sexiest thing in the world, as any

Daddy can tell you, is a three-year-old

girl. But what if, like Little Merry-

weather, she s eighteen, luscious, and

still wants to sit on Daddy s "interestingly

lumpy" lap? Such is the dilemma of Beau

Monteith, who falls for this ravishing

combination of Holly Golightly and Shir-

ley Temple ... before realizing she s his

own daughter. Reunited after fifteen

years, neither party to this tragicomic

love affair knows quite what to do next.

When Little Merryweather flopped her

head on his shoulder and said, trusting as

a toddler, I love you, Daddy," Beau de-

cided to do what he always did when

things looked complicated, what his

Daddy had done before him-run.

How, after a tantalizing time of fight-

ing off the inevitable, they end up

munching on forbidden fruit-and the

comically devastating consequences for both --is the subject of this hilariious but moving novel by the author of the widely acclaimed THE GIRL ON THE COCA-COLA TRAY.
