Susannah lives with her boyfriend Jason, who is the perfect foil to her student lifestyle. He is ten years older and an antiques dealer, so she doesn't have to slum it like her friends. Then, when she is on campus she can take philosophy very seriously and dabble in the social and sexual freedom of 1970s Sussex University.
In fact, it was philosophy that led her to the sex. She is having an affair with Rob, her tutorial partner, when she discovers things are even more complicated than she thought. Faced with an impossible dilemma, Susannah seeks help from Kierkegaard and Heidegger.
A Girl's Guiide to Modern European Philosophy is a bittersweet coming-of-age novel, in which love is far from platonic.
