About This Book
Mystery, love, loss and desire - Rita, Sage, Eddie and Pearce are boldly coming of age. A compelling story of growing up and letting go. A brooding examination of the gains and losses which map a girl's realization of Self.
"A complex web of relationships and sexual discovery, compelling in its drama, moving in its honesty, and satisfying in its outcome." Books in Canada
"Imagine the energy of early Marge Piercy novels linked to a much darker and more mature sense of the hidden rooms where desire, power, sexism and hallucinations intersect -- a sort of Northern Gothic, with attitude." Tom Sandborn, Xtra! West
"D'anna has a deep sense of what is both torrid and complex about coming of age, and an understanding of the fluidity of sexual allegiance. D'anna is able to locate the burning itch at the centre of young women's sexuality." Lynn Crosbie, Globe & Mail
"Author Lynnette D'anna has braided the lives of three women growing up in a small town into an intelligent, emotionally percussive and almost allegorical novel about love corrupted and love redeemed." Prairie Fire
