Linsey Abrams' passionate and eloquent first novel chronicles one girl's coming of age, from a 1950s childhood into the '60s world of New York. Her love affair with another woman begins a profound shift of identity and world.
"…a memorable account of growing up about the ways we invent and reinvent ourselves reminiscent of Margaret Atwood's Surfacing."
Ms. Magazine
"Abrams has a superb talent for the specific. . . . She [has] her own style-a mixture of introspection, common sense, daydreaming and recollection-and controls it beautifully."
