Funny Accent

the long version

"Funny, sophisticated, and fiercely intelligent, thirty-two-year-old Anna Schopenhauer has one weakness: men old enough to be her father. It all started when Anna was thirteen and one of her parents' friends, a callous Lothario named Misha, kissed her on the mouth. Some twenty years later, Anna enjoys the company of one older man after another - including a famous Jewish writer - but remains dissatisfied.". "She publishes a short story in The Atlantic Monthly about her long and agonizing relationship with Misha, compelling him, Anna, and her parents to face the consequences of their past behavior. As she heads home to Scarsdale for her father's seventieth birthday party, Anna anticipates the effects of her revelation, and mischievously plots revenge on Misha - hoping to break the pattern once and for all."--BOOK JACKET.
