Large print book
Be Frank with me : a novel / Julia Claiborne Johnson.
A sparkling talent makes her fiction debut with this infectious novel that combines the charming pluck of "Eloise," the poignant psychological quirks of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" and the page-turning spirit of "Where'd You Go, Bernadette." After falling prey to a ponzi scheme, reclusive literary legend M.M. "Mimi" Banning must write a new book for the first time in decades, and to ensure the timely delivery of her manuscript, her publisher sends an assistant to monitor her progress. When Alice Whitley arrives at the Banning mansion, she's put to work as a full-time companion to Frank, the writer's eccentric nine-year-old. As she slowly gets to know Frank, Alice becomes consumed with finding out who Frank's father is.
