Funny without knowing it and naive without being innocent, Zoe is pretty much left alone to get on with growing up. Yet the most relevant events of her youth are invariably caused by other people. She gains the attentions of spell-binding stranger Mr Friedmann, tries to impress Catholic celebrity (complete with signed photos) Father Raymond, comes to the attention of the Convent militia, and receives questionable guidance from her two grandmothers - one dependable and with a overriding passion for breeding horses, the other who frivolously prefers to be called Catkin. Sprinkled with hilarious observations and sinister characters, Proto Zoe is an unforgettable adolescent journey.
