Grainy and stripped, this gritty novel traces the downbeat progress of a Catholic, working-class lesbian coming of age in Boston. The New York Times Book Review said the author has "an exquisite sense of the borderline where people hide or are transformed according to luck or will—-undramatically rich writing." Dorothy Allison said, "Eileen Myles is a genius!"
