Nana

Irreverent crime novel that includes blackmail, inept motorcycle gang, ... 13 year old and much more. This prequel was written after the "sequel" Diva which probably should be read first. Hope I'm like this when I get old and I'm only 62 now.

While not much of a mystery, Nana is one of the better written Delacorta novels. It seems to be the story of Gorodish, mostly. A sub-plot of the book tells the story of how Gorodish and Alba meet, and is worth reading just for that. Delacorta goes into a bit more detail and description in this novel than he does in most of his others. And despite the lack of proper plot, I couldnt put the book down. I highly recommend this one, especially if youre new to the series.
