    鈥淚 read Judy Doenges鈥� first novel in an almost dreamlike state of absorption,鈥� said Jennifer Egan, author of 鈥淟ook at Me,鈥� 鈥淭he Keep,鈥� 鈥淭he Invisible Circus鈥� and 鈥淓merald City.鈥� 鈥淭he atmosphere of small-town 1970s demimonde is sharp and authoritative. Doegnes鈥� tale of sexual awakening is enlivened by some of the most arresting prose I鈥檝e seen from a contemporary; line by line, chapter by chapter, this book is a thrilling testament to Doenges鈥� monumental talent.鈥�
