Book Description:
Funny, sophisticated and fiercely intelligent, 32-year-old Anna Schopenhauer has one weakness: men old enough to be her father. Heading home to Scarsdale for her father's 70th birthday party, she wants to break the pattern and plots revenge on a family friend--the first older man in her life--about whom she has written a recently published short story in The Atlantic Monthly. Wry and sharply observant, Funny Accent introduces a fresh new fiction talent.

Anna is inducted into the world of sex by a much older man at the age of 13 and forever after is attracted to much older men. This novel feels a bit off-kilter to me, almost as if it's two separate novels. Obviously good writing, but not my favorite.
