<DIV><b>What happens when you turn thirty and still don&rsquo;t know what you want to be when you grow up? In this witty and sharply observed portrait of a generation, lost thirtysomethings grapple with, and avoid, the responsibilities of adulthood</b><b><BR></b></div><DIV><BR>On the morning after celebrating her thirtieth birthday in Barcelona, a journalist wakes up to a hangover&mdash;and a magician in her bed&mdash;and wonders if she&rsquo;s too old to be living as though she was still twenty years old. Her artist friend, Blai, has already immortalized the rest of their group on canvas. There&rsquo;s man-eater Cati, drama-queen lesbian Neus, and wild-haired, poet turned teacher Nil. But as she enters a new decade of her life, the narrator remains &ldquo;an idea for a painting that is yet to be defined.&rdquo;</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>When she&rsquo;s left looking after a stranger&rsquo;s bag, she looks inside and finds a love letter that fires her imagination. The search for the truth behind the romantic clue leads her on a hunt through the bars of Barcelona. If she doesn&rsquo;t believe in fate, why should she believe in the letter&rsquo;s Prince Charming? And what should she do if she finds him? In a precarious era of flat-packed, ready-to-assemble lifestyles and disposable relationships, surprising stories are never too far away.</div>
