Hm, my ideas of the 'lost generation', perhaps an all too romantic one( and not a scientific one...I should have known better) are shattered in the introduction "'The existence of a lost generation is not literally true, and is entirely unsupported by the statistical evidence;'.
I must confess that I never asked myself whether this is true or false or based upon which statistics.
And the young lady does seem to know her own mind at an early age...remarkable.
