Synopsis

How brave that a first novel should attempt these extraordinarily difficult questions, questions so emotionally tough that they complicate the usual business of the novel, the expectations of character and plot. And how brave of Sue Miller to avoid easy answers, to leave the puzzle finally unsolved. Because her Anna is, in the end, human rather than heroic, the novel is all the more disturbing and powerful.|||
