Paris Is The Pits — Brigitte Downey

PARIS IS THE PITS (when you're down to your last Irish sausage!) Nellie, 18, exchanges the wilds of Kerry for the boulevards of Paris. She's convinced the City of Light will recognise her acting talent and transform her life into one of romance and glamour. Dream on, Nellie! Her tiny apartment is shabbier than the dog's kennel at home. Her friends are all loonies or losers. Her French lover goes awol and she's playing a corpse instead of Shakespeare's Juliet. Paris pounds her dreams to a pulp. But Nellie is staying put until that City of Love delivers the goods!
