In a New York City jazz bar on the last night of 1937, watching a quartet because she couldn\'t afford to see the whole ensemble, there were certain things Katey Kontent knew: · how to sneak into the cinema, and steal silk stockings from Bendel\'s · how to type eighty words a minute, five thousand an hour, and nine million a year · that if you can still lose yourself in a Dickens novel then everything is going to be fine By the end of the year she\'ll have learned: · how to live like a redhead and insist upon the very best · that chance encounters can be fated, and the word \'yes\' can be a poison · that riches can turn to rags in the trip of a heartbeat . . .
