I Am Charlotte Simmons

I Am Charlotte Simmons

A scandalous exploration of elite undergraduate life from the author of The Bonfire of the Vanities <br /> <br /> Dupont University: the Olympian halls of learning housing the cream of America&#39;s youth, the roseate Gothic spires and manicured lawns suffused with tradition... or so it appears to beautiful, brilliant Charlotte Simmons, a sheltered freshman from Sparta, North Carolina, who has come here on a full scholarship. But Charlotte soon learns that for the upper-crust coeds of Dupont, sex, status, and kegs trump academic achievement every time. As Charlotte encounters Dupont&#39;s elite, she gains a new, revelatory sense of her own power, that of her difference and of her very innocence. But little does she realise that she will act as a catalyst in all of their lives. <br /> <br /> &#39;A firecracker of a novel... A pyrotechnic delight just as dazzling as The Bonfire of the Vanities&#39; - Sunday Express
