This unusual and highly-charged novel is set in the changing times of the early 1970s in the United States. Its depiction of a young woman at a crossroads in her life in a time of massive social and cultural change is both subtle and ground-breaking. Themes of personal expansion, sexual exploration and feminism blend with a satirical take on the old order of the day, where the gray suits of WASP tradition are being challenged by student protests, racial integration and the emergence of women in the workplace. A coming of age novel with a difference. First published by GP Putnam's Sons in 1974, this brand new 2nd Edition from Landon Books on the book’s 40th anniversary has been worth waiting for.
