About this ebook

Sophie, a twenty-something Jim Morrison groupie gliding through a golden existence in L.A., and Lola, a German immigrant who has settled in Hollywood, know that while Los Angeles is constantly changing, it is essentially eternal. The two women dazzle – one with the promises of youth, the other with the fulfilment of nostalgia – as they wend their way through the pink sunsets and the palm trees of Los Angeles.

Living out their addictively decadent lives, Sophie and Lola are cult writer Babitz’s literary embodiment of the iconic L.A. Woman – more than in part inspired by her own wild and hedonistic youth.
