In 1977 the city is alive with art, sensuality and danger. She falls in with a bohemian clique colonising downtown and the lines between reality and performance begin to bleed. A passionate affair with the scion of an Italian tyre empire carries Reno to Milan, where she is swept along by the radical left and drawn into a spiral of violence and betrayal. The Flamethrowersis an audacious novel that explores the perplexing allure of femininity, fakery and fear. In Reno we encounter a heroine like no other. b>b>Best Books of the Year- b>* Guardian * New York Times * The Times * Observer * Financial Times * New Yorker * Telegraph * Slate * Oprah * Vogue * Time * Scotsman * Evening Standard * /i>b>Shortlisted for the National Book Awards 2013"
