Publisher's Note
Reissued to coincide with the publication of Price's monumental new novel, Roxanna Slade, this bestselling chronicle of a lifetime of joy and sadness -- narrated by the feisty, irrepressible woman who lived it -- won the National Book Critics Circle Award and garnered an outpouring of critical praise. "A penetrating psychological study of an ordinary woman faced with seemingly extraordinary circumstances that, in the balance, turn out to be not so extraordinary after all". -- San Francisco Chronicle

Industry reviews
"Mr. Price's successful creation of a female voice may be a tour de force, but it never feels like a showy ventriloquial act. [He] has found a narrator of great charm."
New York Times Book Review - Rosellen Brown (06/29/1986)

"[A] brilliant tour de force, one that plumbs the soul of a middle-aged woman at a moment of crisis as she begins to deal with the search for a son she abandoned while still in her teens....Price writes prose that can range from the sonorous and elegant to the breezily colloquial."
Styron
