Amazing!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
One of the best books I've read in a long time--gay or straight. This is a sweet, thoughtful, yet often painful story that makes the reader think hard about love and life. The characters are sharply drawn, the language lovely. When is Jane Summer's NEXT book coming out?
Take me back, Barracuda

This coming of age trip for baby boomers is riveting, sexy without corn or porn. Straight, gay, bi or tri, you'll appreciate this love-of-my-life story. Summer captures the essense of adolescence without getting boring or trite. A plusses all around: Story, style, content. Hard to believe this is Summer's first, it surely won't be her last. You'll be thinking about this one for awhile. Bring back Paige & Fiona.
a book i cannot stop reading - The Silk Road
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The Silk Road - there is poetry and joy in every sentence - in each word; reading Silk Road awakened something in me that had been lying dormant for far too long; touched me in places that have been untouched; made my heart skip beat after beat; i am on my third reading - i cannot seem to stop - and i don't want to.
"The Silk Road" Moves
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Now i am reading it for the 3rd time! i just find it brings me so much pleasure; awakens something in me that has been lying dormant; touches me in places i have not been touched in a long while; makes my heart skip several beats; and the writing, each and every sentence is a joy to read. if this is getting boring, forgive me, i am still overwhelmed and in awe (a rare and very welcome occurrence)
Dreamy & concrete, particular & universal

Jane Summer has keenly captured a very specific moment in place and time in her story of Paige's growing up in Hell in the 70's: the music, the rhythm of daily life in the 'burbs, and of course the cars! At the same time, the interior story of Paige's sexual and romantic coming of age is in the best sense timeless. The book took me back; the book moved me. Long live Paige, may she flourish!
