A modern-day classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Simply put, you won't find better writing. On the surface a coming-of-age novel, young Anna's story touches on just about everything that matters: love, sex, betrayal, loyalty, truth. This is a book that you can read again and again. It's something of a well-kept secret, but we should share the wealth: Read this book and then tell every book lover you know.
Beautiful paperback of this modern masterpiece
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I was delighted to see that this wonderful novel was being reissued in paperback. Snap it up now, before the vagueries of market forces get their way with this work, a rare touching piece of literary fiction! Plot, characterization and setting all tell perfectly the story of a girl coming of age, but above all, the writing is what makes me come back to this work again and again. A real command for portraying the complex magic realism of everyday life make this head shoulders one of the top published works in America in this year, or any.
