No one I know has read this--it came out in the late 1970s. I bought it off a airport spinner rack while on vacation with my parents at 11 or 12 and read it straight through. I still love it. It was one of the first books I read where the adults in the books talked like the adults around me. Check it out. Gordon teaches at Columbia.

Second book I ever read. (I was a SLOW starter - having BS'd my way through high school and before.) Gordon's prose, and descriptions in particular, are so clean and precise ... it's like some elaborate origami of...of a face! You can't imagine how she did it, but you recognize it immediately.

Catholic themes throughout, ambivalence and tension reminding me of Graham Green. Some exaggerated characters, but still a compelling read.
