"Street Girl" is no ordinary coming-of-age novel, but rather an apprenticeship of the imagination. Lydie Tristan, a renegade born into a postwar European world that craves stability, is nourished in childhood by exotic fantasies while menaced by real-life teachers and parents who lash out with the fury of primitive demons.
